Chapter 115 How did that happen?
Xia Yunyi naturally refused to go to Guanzhong with her son to avoid disasters and enjoy happiness.
He stubbornly believed that if Shi Kefa, Chen Zilong, these two colleagues, were still working hard for the Ming Dynasty, they would not leave, and he would not leave even if he lost his head.
However, what he never expected was that on the next day, Qian Qianyi came to visit and came early in the morning.
At first, Xia Yunyi was somewhat flattered, but when Qian Qianyi proposed to meet Xia Qilin's son, Xia Yunyi finally realized that he was here to meet his son.
After Xia Wanchun was sleeping soundly, she was pulled from the bed by her father, and she was full of anger. She quickly washed her face amid her father's scolding, and then went to the front hall to pay homage to Qian Qianyi.
When he had his father there, Xia Wanchun was completely tired and was serving his father with a smile. Qian Qianyi asked him and answered him, without asking, he didn't say a word, which fully demonstrated the good tutor of Xia's family.
Seeing this, Qian Qianyi sighed and said to Xia Yunyi: "Brother Yi Zhong, can I ask me to say a few words to the son in private?"
Xia Yunyi, who was sitting there like a clay sculpture, nodded, looked at his son as he left, and said, "Don't be rude."
Xia Wanchun smiled and said, "How dare you be rude to be rude?"
After Xia Yunyi left the front hall, Xia Wanchun, who had been half bent over and shrank his neck, immediately straightened his waist straight, looked at Qian Qianyi with a tiger-like look like a fox and said, "What advice does Mr. Muzhai have?"
Qian Qianyi stroked his beard and smiled, "That's right, this is the way he looks like a young hero who killed countless people across the horse."
Xia Wanchun said: "I came to Nanjing this time not because of official business, but because of my father. If you have any plans, I should go and find the people you should find."
Qian Qianyi said bitterly: "Ma Shiying, Ruan Dayue and others thought that it was impossible to rule with Lantian imperial court."
Xia Wanchun sneered and said, "Even if my master agrees, the million-dollar iron armor under Lantian will not agree."
Qian Qianyi bowed and said, "Since that's the case, can the young brother, please do not implement the Lantian law in Jiangnan for the sake of the people in Jiangnan. After all, Jiangnan is different from the north, so he has his own people's sentiments."
Xia Wanchun looked at Qian Qianyi gloomyly and said, "Do you know what is the biggest mistake Lantian has made in political affairs in recent years?"
Qian Qianyi bowed and said, "I've asked for advice."
Xia Wanchun snorted and said, "That is to let Zhang Bingzhong break away from our control. In my Lantian's opinion, Zhang Bingzhong should have entered Zhejiang from Jiangxi. Unfortunately, this guy actually ran to Guangxi and Guizhou.
This made me Lantian unable to rebuild Jiangnan from the white land, which was very shocking!”
Qian Qianyi had eaten it, so he stood up and pointed at Xia Wanchun and said, "Lead the beast to eat people..."
Xia Wanchun sat in his father's seat, picked up the half-drink tea, and sipped it: "It's not that you didn't see it, but you just saw Zhang Bingzhong running away, so that you have the courage to sit in front of me, discuss with me to keep Jiangnan still, so that you can continue to be fishy and the people of Jiangnan are fat.
Mr. Muzhai, who can bargain with me, Lantian?
Could it be that you think General Lei Heng has not violated the people along the way, which means that Lantian is afraid of the gentry in Jiangnan?
Do you think that Lantian’s nature is weak?
You also attended the People's Congress. You should see what the people's requirements for the rulers of Lantian. You should know that the time when I Lantian unify the Ming Dynasty depends on the progress of the infantry in the Lantian army!
For anywhere, the first thing that comes is my Lantian army, and then there will be an administration!
I advise you to give up any fantasy and not to have any contact with my Lantian Law. Believe me. Anyone who touches my Lantian Iron Law will eventually be crushed to pieces and die without a place to bury."
Qian Qianyi had a slight layer of oil sweat on his forehead, and he closed his eyes and sighed: "There are many gentry in Jiangnan, some of whom exploit the people for profit, and some of whom are good people who farm and study and pass on their families. Lantian cannot generalize it."
Xia Wanchun looked at Qian Qianyi and said, "The people here have been oppressed for too long that they have forgotten the power they should enjoy as a human being.
Even if it’s a good time to eat some leftover rice that you all have given away?
You think too much of yourself.”
Qian Qianyi looked at Xia Wanchun and said, "From your words, I only hear your deep hatred towards the gentry, and there is no slight tolerance."
Xia Wanchun smiled and said, "Have the gentry and wealthy families ever had some compassion for ordinary people?"
Qian Qianyi was silent for a moment and said, "Is it a liquidation?"
Xia Wanchun sighed and said, "I hope it is a liquidation, which can completely change the social status and population structure of the people in Jiangnan, so that it can make Jiangnan prosperous for more years..."
Qian Qianyi held his trembling hands and said, "Aren't the gentry of Jiangnan the ruler of Lantian? I think in Jiangnan, there are countless wealthy families who do not all come from plundering the people. More importantly, decades and hundreds of years of frugality have accumulated such a large family business.
How could you say that you took it away?”
Xia Wanchun looked at Qian Qianyi with fun and said, "Your words are very inflammatory, plus your reputation, I think it's fine if you say such words in front of me. Don't say them among the gentry, otherwise... hahaha."
Qian Qianyi's body trembled for a moment, looked at Xia Wanchun in disbelief and said, "Are you unreasonable?"
Xia Wanchun laughed and said, "Why, now I know that there is such a saying in this world? Did you think of reasoning when you are fishing and meaty people?
Lantian’s political attributes represent the people.
When you were in power, you formulated countless laws and regulations that benefit you. For example, those who pass the imperial examination will be punished for death and will be punished for the three edicts. When a dispute arises between the gentry and the people, the local government has no right to conduct detention.
Officials and gentry do not pay food, pay taxes, and do not serve labor. They can see officials and not worship them. When the people sue the officials, they must first have thirty sticks. Even the rules for clothing and weddings and funerals are different from those of the people. Which one, which case considers the lives and deaths of the people?
Why, now, we, a regime that represents the interests of the people, are not allowed to formulate some laws that are beneficial to the people?
Mr. Muzhai, don’t think about it. Being able to treat you vested interests equally with the people is the greatest kindness that I, Lantian Imperial Court, can release!
Of course, some previous crimes must be pursued, so that the people of Jiangnan can stand up and behave again."
Qian Qianyi felt a terrifying danger from Xia Wanchun's somewhat violent words.
He even felt the great resentment of the Lantian imperial court towards the gentry of Jiangnan from these hatred words.
After the tragic situation in the capital reached Jiangnan, all the gentry in Jiangnan were silent. It was because of Li Hongji's atrocities in the capital that the weak Jiangnan gentry began to feel a strong sense of crisis.
Based on this, the gentry in Jiangnan bet on Shi Kefa, Ma Shiying, Ruan Dayue, and even Li Yan, Huang Degong, Zuo Liangyu and others.
They paid money and sent people one after another, hoping that Shi Kefa could lead them to quickly accumulate enough strength to bargain with Lantian Yunzhao.
Qian Qianyi hopes to find out some clues from Xia Wanchun, Yun Zhao's only disciple, so as to raise some capital for the future of Jiangnan that can bargain with Lantian.
Now, there is no hope.
Xia Wanchun did not conceal Lantian's view of the gentry of Jiangnan, and they even had some contempt for the gentry of Jiangnan.
Qian Qianyi knew that among the scholars in Lantian, they blamed the corruption, destruction and destruction of the Ming Dynasty on the gentry in Jiangnan.
"You can't do this!
There are also people in Jiangnan who work hard, people who work hard, people who ask for the people, people who sacrifice themselves for the Dharma, people who work hard for the people, and people who are even more prosperous and prosperous, even those who die, even families are destroyed, and even children are broken.
You cannot think that there are no good people in Jiangnan just because of the sins of some people.”
Xia Wanchun looked at Qian Qianyi who was hoarse, saying, "We will invite people to the Pantheon to the temple of the people. We will remember those who sacrifice their lives for the people. We will sacrifice their children and grandchildren for the people. We will offer blood and food on the four seasons and eight festivals, and dare not forget them.
As for you…”
Qian Qianyi staggered away from the front hall of Xia Yunyi's house. At this time, he was in a state of confusion. An unprecedented disaster was about to come to Jiangnan. He found that he had no power to deal with it and could only wait for dark clouds to cover his head, and then was beaten into powder by the lightning and thunder.
"Mr. Muzhai, are you feeling unwell?"
Xia Yunyi quickly supported Qian Qianyi and asked with concern.
Qian Qianyi looked at Xia Yunyi's hypocritical face and gently pushed Xia Yunyi away and said, "I just hope that Brother Yi Zhong will be more kind in the future and preserve some cultural heritage for my Jiangnan. I am so grateful."
After saying that, with the help of the old servant, he hurriedly left the Xia Mansion.
"How did you do Mr. Muzhai?"
Xia Yunyi hurried back to the hall and saw her son biting the sugar lotus root there again, so she asked loudly.
Xia Wanchun took a section of sugar lotus root and put it in his father's hand and said, "No, we had a very pleasant conversation. Later I told him that the land annexation in Jiangnan was serious. After Lantian conquered Jiangnan, I hope Mr. Muzhai could set an example for the gentry in Jiangnan. A family could only retain 500 acres of land.
Then, he left angry."
Xia Yunyi looked at her son's thin little face in surprise and said, "Didn't Lan Tianlu say that the land of a family cannot exceed one thousand acres?"
Xia Wanchun smiled and said, "That is the policy of the northern region. The land in the south of the Yangtze River is fertile and mostly paddy fields. How can we do this?"
Xia Yunyi nodded, and bite the candy lotus like his son and said, "The bi politics in Jiangnan is about land annexation. In fact, land annexation is not scary. What is scary is that the land annexation does not pay grain or pay taxes, which will damage public and private wealth.
As time goes by, the people will naturally become poorer and the gentry will become richer. This is unreasonable. I, Uncle Shi Kefa and Uncle Chen Zilong, have been trying to promote the officials, gentry and people to pay the food and tax together for the whole year. As a result, nothing has been achieved over the years."
Xia Wanchun looked at his father with a smile and said, "Soon, they will take the initiative to pay the food and pay taxes."
Xia Yunyi stopped in a daze and was about to send sugar lotus root into her mouth, and asked her son: "What if they don't want to?"
