Chapter 768: Ming opposes Ming
This civil unrest is different from the past. This time it is a combination of civil unrest and military unrest. At this point, it is actually quite dangerous. However, there is an inconspicuous force in it, that is, Shen Shiqing's identity is Juren. Really If it breaks out, it will really turn everything upside down.
The last person to rebel after failing the Jinshi exam was Huang Chao. This was Shen Shixing's biggest worry before coming to Taizhou. Fortunately, the situation was much better than he thought.
At least Shen Shiqing chose to surrender and was even very cooperative.
"Shen Shixing, you are not a good person! You help whoever wins!" Li Hongdao shouted at the top of his lungs when he was taken away.
Shen Shixing looked at Li Hongdao and said with a smile: "Yes, that's how I am. I help whoever wins, and who made you lose?"
For the imperial court as a collective, most of the time, the imperial court never paid attention to good and evil, but only focused on order and chaos.
Good and evil themselves are abstract concepts. Their essence is people's moral evaluation of things. Their standards are constantly changing. The changes in the standards of good and evil are caused by three factors: history, culture and society.
People are always like this. After a while, they will have doubts about the standards of good and evil in the past, just like people in the future will have the same doubts about the standards of good and evil in the present.
But governance and chaos are never abstractions, but concrete realities. The gravitational pull of reality is always strong enough that any fantasy or ideal that is detached and out of touch with reality will crash to the ground.
Control and chaos mean whether people can buy cheap rice, flour, grain and oil, whether they can have a shelter from the wind and rain, whether their children will wake up from the cold and become sick or even die, and whether the crops in the fields can be kept in good condition. The harvest will provide for the needs of the family, will the enemy kick in the door of the house, take the children out from under the bed and kill them, etc.
Therefore, Li Hongdao's roar was correct. He really won, and Shen Shixing had to help him, because even if Shen Shixing told the truth to Ming Gong, Ming Gong might not care, and would even help cover it up. Taiping, even if the emperor was suspicious and sent someone to see it, it would be easy to deal with it.
Being an official in the Ming Dynasty is actually very simple. It just consists of ten words: eat, drink, welcome, send, and inspect.
Ming Dynasty has rich experience in welcoming inspections. As long as it can win, it can whitewash peace. In the end, the court is angry and can only be angry. After all, life will continue to go on. Maintaining overall stability is the common will of the ruling class.
"Then why did you lose?" Shen Shixing said with a smile: "Because you never believed that with the efforts of ten thousand people, the world is invincible. This is the heroic saying Liu Bowen made to Emperor Taizu Gao in the early days of the country."
< br>
"If it weren't for Tiqi! Sanjiang Camp would have been defeated by me! What skills and abilities do they have? They are a bunch of unruly people!" Li Hongdao struggled for a moment and said angrily.
"Look at you, you are in a hurry." Old God Shen Shixing said calmly: "With the efforts of ten thousand people, the most important thing here is that one. Do you understand? It is very difficult to use one's strength in one place. Everyone’s view of Ming Dynasty is different. It is very important to find a common goal that most people agree with. ”
"Obviously, for everyone in Sanjiang camp and the tax collector Tiqi, you, Li Hongdao, are the target."
Never doubt the power of the people. This power is powerful enough to change the world, but never believe that the people are wise and can use this power correctly instead of acting as a savior.
This is why Shen Shixing has always been worried about Shen Shiqing. He is the wisdom that guides the correct release of the power of all peoples.
It wasn't until Shen Shixing caught Shen Shiqing that he felt completely relieved.
The same was true for the Luo Muying mutiny. Yan Shixuan was the guy who came up with the idea, and he killed his immediate boss Wu Shanyan. Yan Shixuan did nothing, and Peipianpidian continued to be the prefect of Hangzhou.
The will of this world has always been like this, whoever wins helps the other, so many times, winning itself is so persistent, even if it is a cassock.
"No, I'm very curious. Why are you targeting the tax office? The tax office has provoked you, and you want your stragglers to attack the tax office? Are you crazy?" Shen Shixing asked a question he was curious about. .
Li Hongdao was really courageous. Sanjiang Camp was about to be breached, but the Tiqi troops joined the battlefield and changed the situation. This seemed like a bad move. Li Hongdao was a Jinshi and shouldn't be so stupid.
Shen Shixing was also curious whether Li Hongdao ever regretted getting himself into trouble.
Li Hongdao's expression changed several times before he whispered: "They are inspecting taxes..."
Shen Shixing smiled and shook his head and said: "Destroying someone's financial path is like killing one's parents. Su Chengping, who is responsible for taxing thousands of households, has cut off some of your financial paths. I understand."
Li Hongdao had hatred in his heart. He hated the Tax Inspection Institute and the whole set of taxation laws established by the emperor, even more than he hated Zhang Juzheng's examination method!
The existence of the Taxation Yuan has curbed corruption to a large extent, because the Taxation Yuan investigates corruption and money transactions. Even gambling houses and gamblers' reconciliations are investigated by the Taxation Yuan. Within the scope of taxation.
"Zhifu Yan, have you noticed? The Ming Dynasty is against the Ming Dynasty." Shen Shixing said to Yan Shixuan beside him.
Yan Shixuan immediately said: "I didn't find it."
"I'll tell you in detail." Shen Shixing said eagerly.
Yan Shixuan shook his head like a rattle and said loudly: "I don't want to hear it!"
These are rebellious remarks at first glance, and he, Yan Shixuan, will not listen to them!
Yan Shixuan is just the prefect of Hangzhou. He does not have a decision-making position in the ruling class of bureaucracy. It is okay for the emperor and Duke Ming to listen to some of his words, but he is not qualified to take the helm, so there is no need to listen to these things. He knows more, and no Conducive to promotion and transfer.
Shen Shixing is a man in heaven, while Yan Shixuan lives in the world, and every step he takes is very difficult.
Shen Shixing clasped his hands behind his back and said with great emotion: "From a small household, a handicraft workshop, a large official factory, to hundreds of civil and military officials, to the entire Ming Dynasty, no group can be monolithic and have absolute power. , then there must be an opposing force. Every specific individual has a different destination. We can see many paradoxes..."
"Zhifu Yan, why are you leaving? I haven't finished talking yet!"
"I won't listen." Yan Shixuan walked away very rudely. When he heard Shen Shixing's words, he immediately waved his hand and said, "I will handle the case. Futai can tell His Majesty."
Of course Yan Shixuan saw this kind of fragmentation, but there was nothing he could do. All he could do was to do the job at hand, quickly stabilize the entire Taizhou Prefecture, restore calm, and let Li Hongdao become a topic of conversation after dinner, rather than a deep understanding. The key that affects the order and chaos in Taizhou.
Shen Shixing finally settled the affairs on the ground in Taizhou, wrote a memorial and sent it to the Ming court.
Three days later, the emperor's imperial edict was delivered to Taizhou by water.
Taizhou also has a seaport, and the scale is not small. It can be said that there are many sails and ships, and the commercial market is prosperous. Taizhou has been applying for a municipal shipping department in recent years. Having a municipal shipping department means that it can directly go to sea to Japan, Luzon, Old Port, etc. If there is no shipping department in the country, it is quite troublesome to get customs declaration from Ningbo shipping department.
Li Hongdao, Shen Shiqing and other criminals were escorted to Beijing. The Emperor of Ming Dynasty praised the tax office for its passive counterattack, and even gave it to the Taizhou Prefecture tax office with the inscription "Courage of Ten Thousand Men".
Twenty-seven people blocked the attack of five hundred people and even counterattacked in an orderly manner. In the emperor's eyes, this was the courage of ten thousand people.
As the governor of Zhejiang, Shen Shixing once again became a fifth-grade doctor. Shen Shixing chose to accept this punishment. The civil unrest occurred in the area he was governor of, and Shen Shixing was guilty of negligence because he did not discover Li Hongdao, a worm.
The emperor issued a strict decree to find out where Li Hongdao got his ability and dared to be so bold. This is a fact that must be clarified!
They blatantly defied the Ming Dynasty, resisted the implementation of imperial decrees, and helped the Jin gentry regain their land. Why did the local officials in Taizhou not report what they knew?
The battle that Li Hongdao created was an obvious rebellion. There must be a clear answer as to why the Ming Dynasty's error-correcting power did not take effect.
This was the doubt in the emperor's heart. They rebelled so openly and openly. The poor and cool people couldn't stand it and started making trouble. Only then did the court know that this problem was serious.
"It's not Futai's fault." Yan Shixuan heard that Shen Shixing was demoted three levels again. How long it took for him to be reinstated became a Ming Dynasty joke again.
No matter what the hole that Li Hongdao dug, Shen Shixing cannot be blamed.
"The crime of oversight." Shen Shixing said without paying much attention: "Before this incident happened, he had always been a good person in my heart. The writers of the poetry societies and newspapers tried their best to mold him into a good person. Good official, someone got him a Wanmin umbrella a few days ago, with hundreds of silk strips hanging on it.”
Li Hongdao had all four of these four prestige-building things, including the Wanmin Umbrella, the Dezheng Card, the Hundred-Neck Clothes, and the Renxing Monument, which was very deceptive.
Shen Shixing was indeed a little careless, and he was a little too busy. Songjiang Mansion was not a big place, but things were really complicated. When others were in Songjiang Mansion, they really couldn't control Zhejiang's affairs.
Li Hongdao was shaped by public opinion to be a very moral person. He was benevolent, righteous, courteous, wise and trustworthy. He never tolerated evil. He resolutely implemented the imperial decrees and was extremely loyal. There were many such things. For example, Li Hongdao went to marry farmers and cultivated mulberry trees. He acquired three acres of land and built several silkworm rooms to produce silk.
So much so that Shen Shixing ignored who controlled the mouthpiece. The more these pen officials boasted, the bigger the problem would be.
"I am going to report this time and ask your Majesty to send Hou Yuzhao here quickly, but your Majesty refuses. The war in Korea has not been finished yet, and Hou Yuzhao cannot leave." Shen Shixing sighed again, he had to continue running in both directions.
Shen Shixing needs to give a clear answer to His Majesty's doubts, and Shen Shixing himself is also very confused. If the root cause is not found and he leaves, the ground in Taizhou will become like this again. live.
Shen Shixing did not go to anyone else. He directly interrogated Li Hongdao. It was Yan Shixuan's responsibility to stabilize the ground in Taizhou, and Shen Shixing's responsibility was to implement the emperor's will.
If the emperor has doubts, Shen Shixing will naturally solve them.
"Shen Laoguan, you are so arrogant now that you have gained your ambition. Today it is me, and tomorrow it will be you!" Li Hongdao was escorted out of the prison and was pushed to the ground by two Tiqi. Shen Shixing was surrounded by twenty Tiqi, who were responsible for protecting him. Work, after all, everything Shen Shixing does is damning.
Li Hongdao was pushed to the ground and still roaring.
"Sit." Shen Shixing waved his hand, indicating to Tiqi that he didn't have to press down and just let him sit down and talk. This understatement made Li Hongdao very angry and felt deeply humiliated.
Shen Shixing said with a smile: "I will be arrogant when I succeed, of course. Otherwise, like you, can I wait until I become a prisoner and then be arrogant?"
"You!" Li Hongdao was immediately off guard by this sentence.
"Besides, as long as I continue to succeed, I can continue to be rampant." Shen Shixing added another blow.
Li Hongdao's face turned red, and he finally leaned on the chair with shackles and sighed. Shen Shixing is a man in heaven. As long as the general direction is correct, he can continue to be rampant. Not everyone is qualified to be the emperor's brother.
"You are very loyal." Li Hongdao sighed with emotion.
"That's natural. As long as I am loyal to Your Majesty, I can do whatever I want. Why don't I do it? People only live a lifetime. I am very addicted to officialdom. The bigger the official, the greater the power!" Shen Shixing answered this question very straightforwardly. , just like now, Li Hongdao is a prisoner.
"Tell me about it." Shen Shixing saw that Li Hongdao was a little resigned to his fate, and then he started to ask. Accepting his fate meant that Li Hongdao was no longer so resistant.
Li Hongdao immediately said: "What did you say? What do you want to know? I never wanted to deceive Futai, but Futai never asked me." "What should I know? If you don't tell me, how can I know, what?" That's what I need to know." Shen Shixing replied calmly.
Li Hongdao took a deep breath and said: "Futai, when you need to know, the people below will naturally tell you. On the contrary, if Futai doesn't know, it means that you don't need to know about it yet, so you don't Know.”
This seems a bit official, but in fact, the two people are talking about the stubborn diseases in officialdom, how Li Hongdao deceives the superiors and hides the inferiors, and everyone will be together when Shen Shixing does not need to know. Hiding it from him tacitly.
Shen Shixing picked up the teacup, blew it, took a sip and put it down, then said with a smile: "I knew it if you said so."
"The theory of contradictions tells me that there are universal contradictions in everything. Among these complex contradictions, there must be a main contradiction. And for the Taizhou ground bureaucrats to be so united against the sacred mandate, there are obviously some interests that the court is not aware of, and this interest It’s big enough for everyone to share the spoils, so you dare to be so bold.”
"After this analysis, it is sea trade."
Li Hongdao stood up suddenly and looked at Shen Shixing in disbelief. His breathing became rapid. Li Hongdao really didn't say anything!
Shen Shixing stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "Sit, sit, sit, look, you are anxious. I urge you to read more books on weekdays. This method of explaining contradictions is excellent. You just need to grasp the main thread, You can figure out many problems. You see, I use it very well.”
"Sit down and listen to me slowly."
"The ground in Taizhou has been applying for the Municipal Shipping Bureau, but it has not landed in Taizhou for a long time. Moreover, after His Majesty's southern tour, it is impossible for the court to approve it in a short period of time. So how do the merchants in Taizhou do sea trade? What about your business?”
"Let me guess, is this a match? You are trading silver onshore and exchanging goods directly overseas, so you are going to provoke the Taizhou tax collector. Because you are afraid of things happening, you just take the risk and take advantage of the civil unrest. Never stop doing it.”
Just like a gambler and a gambling house reconcile, although the thirty taels of silver have not been traded, they still have to pay taxes. Silver is traded directly on the shore and exchanged directly overseas.
Li Hongdao slowly sat down, sneered and said: "I'm looking down on Futai. Futai is powerful. It's true, but what can you do if you know? If you can't find it, it's useless for you to torture me. Because I don’t know either.”
Li Hongdao knew that this happened, but he didn't know how it worked, but it benefited him a lot.
"That's it, the magistrate of Taizhou, the prefect of a place, with such great power and such a small salary, why should you be loyal to the king's orders, even if this official is given by your majesty." Shen Shixing said in amazement: "My power is more than You are bigger, but I am less courageous than a mouse.”
"That's you. You want to be the first assistant, and I don't want to be. What you pursue is to leave a name in the history of history, and discuss merits and demerits in the spring and Autumn period. I can't even leave a word in the history of youth. What I want is that future generations will continue to be rich and honorable." Li Hongdao was silent for a moment and chose to tell the truth. He had been completely seen through and there was no need to be harsh.
Shen Shixing guessed everything Li Hongdao knew. This was indeed true.
"Your family has also left the Ming Dynasty." Shen Shixing smiled. Seeing Li Hongdao break the jar, he knew that his family had left the Ming Dynasty long ago.
Ming Dynasty could not support opening up the sea only when it was profitable.
Ming Dynasty has taken the benefits of opening up the sea, but it has also accepted all the disadvantages of opening the sea. The assets have been transferred overseas. This is the new dilemma of anti-corruption after Ming Dynasty opened the sea.
Li Hongdao has made enough, and a lot of money has been sent to the sea. His family can be rich and wealthy almost forever. This is Li Hongdao's fundamental motive for doing this.
The court caught Li Hongdao and was unable to recover the losses.
"To realize the transfer of goods, there must be a business gang, so the Taizhou Gang must be an entity. Yes, I may not be able to find any clues, but it doesn't matter. I have arrested all the merchants on the ground in Taizhou and passed them one by one. That is, I can’t do anything overseas, but I can still make the decision in the hinterland of Ming Dynasty.”
Shen Shixing thought for a while and said, "Do you think your family can be rich and noble for the rest of your life?"
Shen Shixing knew very well that Li Hongdao didn't care about the business gangs in Taizhou. They would die as they pleased. Li Hongdao would definitely die anyway, so Shen Shixing changed the topic to Li Hongdao's family.
"I think it's okay." Li Hongdao answered very clearly.
Shen Shixing showed a bright smile and said: "Then you are wrong. I have already found them. Are you surprised?"
Li Hongdao's expression changed drastically!
Shen Shixing stood up, shook his sleeves, and said calmly: "Hey, I won't tell you how you found it. After you enter Beijing, you will be reunited with your family."
"Futai, Futai! If you ask, I will know everything and say everything! Futai!" Li Hongdao knelt on the ground fiercely, kowtowing repeatedly, hoping that Shen Shixing would stay and he could cooperate with the investigation, as long as Shen Shixing spoke kindly to him .
Shen Shixing just put in good words for Su Chengping, the tax collector of thousands of households, and didn't bother to pay attention to Li Hongdao. This person had no use value anymore.
Li Hongdao knew deeply that there was no need for Shen Shixing to lie to him, because Li Hongdao only told him after Li Hongdao broke the jar that his family was arrested.
In fact, it's very simple. Li Hongdao thought he was perfect, but in fact, the Ming Dynasty had paid close attention to his family's movements. Shen Shixing sent a note to the governors of overseas governor-general offices, asking them to cooperate with the Ming Dynasty court in handling the case. Finally, he was found in Luzon Li Hongdao’s family.
Li Hongdao's family changed their names and went to Manila, Luzon, which is the wealthiest place overseas. In Manila, Li Hongdao's family can enjoy a life that is not inferior to that in the hinterland, and at the same time, they can avoid the Ming Dynasty's sky net, which will let Li Hongdao What Hongdao didn't expect was that the Ming Dynasty's sky net had already spread to Luzon.
In the twelfth lunar month of the fourteenth year of Wanli, it snowed heavily in Beijing, which was covered with snow. The snow was so heavy that it crushed the houses in Fuguo. These houses were older than the emperor. It had not been repaired for a long time. The Five Cities Military and Horse Division placed these people in official residences and waited until winter passed before dealing with them.
The snow in the north has always been like this. It falls so heavily that it hangs on the branches like pear blossoms in full bloom. If you stand at the Zhengya Bell and Drum Tower and look out at this time, you will see that everything is covered with white snow. The white is a bit dazzling, except for pedestrians. The hurried walk left some footprints.
Zhu Yijun likes snow very much because he is now a farmer and he knows what the heavy snowfall every winter means to agriculture.
In the imperial study room of Tonghe Palace, the Ming Emperor, wrapped in a large cloak, continued to review the memorials on the table, while Feng Bao kept passing the memorials approved by His Majesty to the waiting Xiaohuangmen and sent them to Wenyuan Pavilion.
"The criticism of Ling Yunyi continues." Zhu Yijun finished approving another memorial. Ling Yunyi asked Hwarang to identify the man, which aroused the fear of the scholar-bureaucrats.
Based on the fear of the collapse of order, Hwarang used to give orders at will and was a servant. Now these servants who used to be obedient can drag the former masters to hell on earth with just a finger, and they will never be able to stand up again. .
Feng Bao sighed and said: "The same goes for Lingbutang. Since His Majesty has issued a strict instruction, he just pretends to be nice. The officials of the Department of Science and Technology also want to avoid people, so they don't need to be so obvious. But as for Lingbutang, Not only did he not restrain himself, he even intensified it, making it bloody, and even wrote it in such detail and sent it to the capital.”
The gentleman is kind-hearted and cannot bear to see this bloody suffering. There is a lack of officials in North Korea, and there is no supervision. Governor Ling ordered the subordinates not to talk nonsense, and the matter was just passed away.
But Ling Yunyi didn't, and no one else said it. He said it himself, and he just wanted to write down all these things in detail and send them to the capital.
Zhu Yijun said with emotion: "Ling Butang has good intentions. He told me that he wants all civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty to know clearly that if the Ming Dynasty dies, everyone will end up like this, so How to sustain the Ming Dynasty is a question that all meat eaters must consider.”
Ling Yunyi's original words in the memorial are: The people of Qin had no time to mourn themselves, and later generations mourned them; later generations mourned without taking note of it, which also made future generations mourn again; the country was overturned, the sky collapsed, and the earth was torn apart, and they were busy like a dog that had lost its home. , Hastily like a fish slipping through the net, whoever destroys the six kingdoms is called the Six Kingdoms; whoever destroys the Qin State is called Qin.
"Ling Butang is looking for scolding," Feng Bao said in a low voice.
The less the meat-eaters want to see, the more Ling Yunyi wants to break it open, crush it, uncover the scars, and let the meat-eaters see that Ling Yunyi is not only spreading salt into the hearts of Koreans, he is even going to spread salt into the hearts of the Korean people. Ming Minggong rubs salt in his heart.
"In the name of Zhu Zhongxing, let's publish the newspaper. He can't bear this scolding." Zhu Yijun revised Ling Yunyi's article, but the subject matter remained the same, and it still discussed the misery of the subjugated slaves.
It has been two hundred years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty. Although wars were frequent, most of them were on the borders and not in the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty had long forgotten what it was like to be a slave to the subjugation of the country. The hinterland has been singing and dancing for a long time. The subjugation of North Korea this time is indeed surprising. The practical significance of quitting.
In any case, the ruling class must use all means at its disposal to prop up the Ming Dynasty. Otherwise, North Korea today will be the Ming Dynasty tomorrow.
Underneath the nest are eggs.
"I obey the order." Feng Bao obeyed the leader's order.
"Has Li Hongdao been taken to the capital?" Zhu Yijun picked up the next memorial and asked about the progress of the mutiny case in Sanjiangying, Zhejiang. Shen Shiqing, the instructor of East Lake Academy, and General Fang Rongxing of Sanjiangying were also arrested in the capital. Come on, until the case is concluded, they are all suspects.
"He was in the prison and wanted to commit suicide after taking off his belt. Tiqi stopped him. After entering Beizhen Fusi Yamen, his life was no longer his." Feng Bao bowed his head and said.
Zhu Yijun frowned and said, "Where are Li Hongdao's family members? Where are they?"
"We have disembarked at the Michigan Shipping Department. The road has been blocked due to heavy snow. We are detained at the Michigan Shipping Department. Wang Yi'e has dispatched two coastal defense households to watch and make sure they cannot escape." Feng Bao answered this question, The snow at the beginning of the twelfth lunar month was a bit too heavy.
"Shen Shiqing and Fang Rongxing are in custody, but don't be harsh. They will go back to Zhejiang after the case is completed." Zhu Yijun told Feng Bao to do something. Some people don't want Shen Shiqing and Fang Rongxing to go back alive. If they go back alive, they will completely defeat the whole family. Win, win big, win big.
As Shen Shixing said, Ming is against Ming. If one side wins, others will naturally lose.
The treatment of Shen Shiqing, Fang Rongxing and Li Hongdao was very different. For example, Shen Shiqing and Fang Rongxing were both in single rooms and even had stoves. As for the single rooms where Ligas was locked up every day, apart from not being able to leave Beizhen Fusi at will, they were still very Comfortable.
Zhu Yijun suspected that Li Yashi did not burn his own coal to keep warm in winter and deliberately used coal from the Fusi Office in Beizhen. Therefore, Zhu Yijun specially issued an order to let Li Yashi live in Fusi, Beizhen, and he had to pay for the coal. The pen is a lump sum, and you have to pay the money even if you go to jail.
Li Yashi was so angry that he made up two more jokes and added twenty days to his sentence. He could only be released during the Chinese New Year.
"Shen Shiqing, a scholar, is also cruel. Fang Rongxing arrested more than forty gentry families. Fang Rongxing did not dare to kill, but Shen Shiqing did." Zhu Yijun looked at the case file and could only say that Shen Shiqing had a Ling Yunyi style.
More than 40 Jin gentry, Sanjiang Camp arrested more than 1,500 people. Except for the children, Shen Shiqing spared no one and beheaded them all in Sanjiang Camp. He was really ruthless.
"That's what these gentry deserve." Feng Bao said with a frown: "None of these forty families were wronged. Every one of them is a member of the Taizhou Business Gang. They were all involved in the Taizhou business. , they also raised those desperadoes, each of them raised a band of returning bandits, Shen Shiqing had to do this. "
Shen Shiqing gave the order to kill, but Fang Rongxing hesitated. Shen Shiqing took Fang Rongxing's hand, pressed it on, and gave the order together.
At that time, Shen Shiqing didn't know whether he could survive. Li Hongdao's offensive was very fierce, and Li Hongdao didn't take the lives of those Jin gentry seriously at all. Shen Shiqing wanted to negotiate with the prisoners at first, but after no results, he had no choice but to kill them. If you replace one of these culprits, you won't lose, but if you replace two, you will make a profit.
They are all ruthless people.
