Xu Jingchang slept for a while, got up and asked someone to ask in detail what happened in Jinan during the past few days, and then thought about it.

It was slightly dark, and Xu Jingchang went to find Fang Xing.

Fang Xing was writing an article, but he didn't stop seeing Xu Jingchang coming, so Xu Jingchang leaned over and took a look.

Then……

"You're crazy!"

The Tang and Song dynasties were not destroyed by foreign enemies, but what destroyed them was greed and slackness that had been passed on for a long time!

"…The gentry's greed is endless. Their desire for land and slaves can almost destroy the world. God blocks the gods, Buddha blocks the Buddhas..."

"...The system of military troops was the cause of prosperity in the former Tang Dynasty, and it was destroyed by annexation!"

"...The former Song Dynasty did not stolen annexation, the gentry and powerful gentry were greedy, and King Jing was defeated and had no chance of life..."

"......... When we were in our dynasty, there were still a lot of land in the early days, and the people were able to live in peace. Now that the mergers and reorganizations have begun, refugees are everywhere..."

"...Taxes are the foundation of a country. Emperor Taizu Gao asked poor students to reduce taxes and exempt labor, and has become a powerful tool for mergers... The method of avoiding taxes is spectacular!"

"...I look at the poor family. Now I see that the gentry of the Ming Dynasty is a poor family. I guess there is no overnight food at home, so I can grab it..."

Xu Jingchang smiled bitterly and said, "Those scholars are going to fight you!"

Fang Xing put down the brush and sighed: "I have seen many people, numb! All I see are numb. Duke Ding, you have rich clothes and food, go and have a look. Those are the most important part of the Ming Dynasty. They are numb. What's the use of our efforts?"

Xu Jingchang's letter of vote today is good, so Fang Xing is willing to analyze it for him.

"I guess there is an undercurrent in the court. Most officials will not agree to exempt the gentry from preferential treatment. No, they are strongly opposed. They are just watching for the time being, waiting for me to make a mistake and cause a big problem, and then they will attack them in groups. Even if Emperor Wen is reborn, they will change their color!"

As dusk fell, the study room was a little dim.

Xu Jingchang read the article written by Fang Xing and said with a headache: "Why didn't you move when Emperor Wen is here? Oh! I understand, you must have known that Emperor Wen is unwilling to act rashly, so you have been waiting until now, but... the prestige of Your Majesty today..."

Fang Xing took the paper over, called Xiaodao in, asked him to give the article to Wang Shang, and then sent someone to bring food to drink with Xu Jingchang in the study.

Xu Jingchang drank a few glasses of wine and suddenly bowed, "Dehua, brother, I admire you!"

Fang Xing shook his head and ate a slice of beef. He thought Xu Jingchang's mouth was also very tricky, and it was indeed good.

Someone walked past the outside with a lantern, and the light and shadow reflected the branches and leaves of a small tree outside on the window paper, looking like a ghost lying on his teeth and claws.

Xu Jingchang looked at the shadow outside the window paper gradually dimming, and couldn't help but think of his grandfather.

"Emperor Wen is always staring at the north, that is the enemy of the Ming Dynasty, so he needs to stabilize the interior of the Ming Dynasty..."

Fang Xing glanced at Xu Jingchang and felt that this guy had been hiding his weaknesses in the past.

Those who can say this are naturally not idiots. Then Xu Jingchang's previous words and deeds are mostly self-deprecating.

The Xu family made too great achievements, and they also had one family and two dukes.

If such a countryman stretches out his hands, the emperor will probably not be able to sleep.

Then every emperor would sneak Xu Jingchang out and threaten him. This is probably the tacit understanding between the two sides.

A look of memories flashed in Xu Jingchang's eyes and said with a smile: "Your Majesty now believes in you, so you have to go through this dangerous situation by burning your boat. If you fail, you will probably have to escape from your family, right?"

Fang Xing raised his glass and invited him, and the two of them drank.

Seeing that Fang Xing did not answer, Xu Jingchang said, "You want to stand in front of Your Majesty and take on this matter with all your might. Even if you fail, Your Majesty can still come out to clean up the mess, and the Ming Dynasty will not be in trouble. But those gentry are probably going to become more and more arrogant."

"You're so nice!"

Xu Jingchang raised his glass and sighed: "Trust it with one force!"

"Can you represent Xunqi?"

Fang Xing cleaned the brush in the brush and hung it on the pen holder.

Xu Jingchang said awkwardly: "Your Majesty means this, but you know, the honors and relatives must also have benefits. If there is no interest, they will turn against each other at any time."

Seeing that he felt a little guilty, Fang Xing said, "It's all due to interests, so do I."

Xu Jingchang was even more embarrassed. Fang Xing’s interests were the Ming Dynasty, while Xu Qi’s interests were himself. This comparison made him judgement. He felt that he was shorter than Xing.

"What will they do below?"

"Encourage those farmers who contributed to make trouble."

"They are still watching and want to see if things have turned around. Also, they want to see the reaction after the implementation of this policy until the entire Ming Dynasty, they..."

Fang Xing said sarcastically: "They all like to let others do it first."

Xu Jingchang was shocked and said, "That... would be very troublesome. Those farmers are causing trouble. As long as someone lights a fire, there will be war everywhere."

Fang Xing pointed out of the door and walked out of the study first.

A heavy rain a few days ago washed the night sky clean, the stars shining, and silence was everywhere.

In late autumn, flowers wither.

When the weather is cold, there are more bird nests on the trees.

Fang Xing stood under the tree, listening to the occasional whisper of a bird, and felt that everything was quiet not in the place, but in your heart.

"I built a house in a human world, and my heart was far away from me, but unfortunately I was not interested in Buddhism and Taoism."

Fang Xing touched the tree trunk, which was very light, as if he was worried that it would disturb the birds on the tree to fall asleep.

"I've been dormant for this period of time, just want to see and see all the classes of the Ming Dynasty."

The bird's whisper stopped, Fang Xing let go of his hand, looked up, and then took a few steps back.

"very tired?"

Xu Jingchang felt that Fang Xing was like a lonely warrior, attacking a behemoth.

Fang Xing nodded and said, "It's a bit tired, but I like such days. The sense of mission is driving me to keep moving forward. I think I will be proud of this period before I die."

Xu Jingchang suddenly felt a little sad.

"They won't admit defeat easily. You... take your time, otherwise you might as well use the army to shock them and kill those who are dissatisfied!"

Fang Xing shook his head, knowing that this was what Xu Jingchang comforted him.

"How many people do you have to kill? Now it's not like a chaotic world. If you kill them all, you will be afraid of being killed. Then you can be safe for a while, but the Ming Dynasty has no more... soul!"

"I don't want to see a Ming Dynasty who only knows the interests. So what if the world is silent? If you kill all those people, the people will be afraid. Therefore, the emperor is a lonely man, and all officials are like walking corpses, and the people... I think that is not the Ming Dynasty in my heart."

"At least there must be... and some, at least a few million people."

Xu Jingchang shivered, feeling that his words just now were too silly.

If millions of people were killed in the Ming Dynasty, no one dared to imagine the scene.

Fang Xing smiled and said, "This is not the road to the Ming Dynasty, so what we have to do now is..."

"Go to explain to the people?"

"No!"

Fang Xing looked up at Cangqiong and said, "We must let the people know that the tax system will be a must-do policy for the Ming Dynasty in the future!"

Xu Jingchang turned his face away and said uncomfortable: "You are digging your roots. Even the honorary relatives will be affected. If you want to merge the land in the future, I am afraid that even my family will not be able to do it."

"Which is more important, the world or you?"

Under the stars, Fang Xing frowned and said, "The small river is full, and the big river can only sail."

Xu Jingchang said indifferently: "My family has enough money."

Fang Xing said helplessly: "Don't leave your thoughts to your descendants, it's embarrassing."

Xu Jingchang just shook his head. He was a great relative and it was difficult for his descendants to be valued, so it was not bad to pretend to be a rich man.
