Chapter 786: The king is a saint and the ministers are virtuous, and the fortune is prosperous
Rural gentry, powerful right-wingers, elected officials, hereditary officials, emperors and other meat-eaters do not participate in production. There are many ways to get money, but this money comes very easily. The more money a person gets, the more money he gets. It is easy, the more money you spend, the more generous you will be. You are not sensitive to price and feel that the premium is reasonable.
For example, on Xiafei Street in Shanghai, there is a Shanghai tax office at the end of the street.
Powerful dignitaries who are not sensitive to prices carry boxes after boxes of silver to Xiafei Street. Ink pads that are more expensive than gold, exquisitely carved jades, mother-of-pearl decorated with various treasures, emerald lacquerware, The four treasures of the study each have their own extravagant items such as tung smoke, Hui ink, rice paper and so on.
Any one of these items may be the income of the middle-aged family in a year, but when these powerful forces are about to make a bold move, there is no hesitation at all.
These buyers will even go to the tax office to get tax stamps in person in order to prove that they are genuine.
The extravagant tax, originally intended to limit the consumption of extravagant plants, cannot stop these powerful right-wingers at all.
As for the tenants, trackers, porters, water bearers, kiln workers, craftsmen, etc. who are mainly poor and cool people, they are the production itself, and the way to get money is limited to their own labor. This money is not easy to come by. One person can get money. The harder it is, the stingier you spend money, the more sensitive you are to price, and the premium you feel is very unreasonable.
For example, in Beijing's Caishikou, Meishikou, Liangshikou, etc., poor coolies use handkerchiefs and square towels, including copper coins and broken silver, to bargain for every penny. You can roughly tell how much it weighs just by mentioning it, and you even need to prepare a steel scale yourself.
The Beiya Taxation Institute cannot collect taxes in places such as Caishikou and Liangshikou. The poor can't squeeze out a few rich people. The Tax Institute is targeting big grain merchants. It manages the main intersections into Beijing and relies on various Draw points for the goods.
There is a world of difference in the sensitivity to money and wealth between meat-eaters and poor coolies. There are white clouds and black soil. The meat-eater cannot understand. He feels that he wants just a little bit, but these poor coolies are going to fight for it!
The poor coolies feel that nothing beats this.
Feng Bao believes that this phenomenon is because he doesn't feel bad about selling his farmland. The wealth is not created by himself, so it is natural and refreshing to spend it.
Zhu Yijun said it was because of the suddenness of the contradiction, but Feng Bao found it difficult to understand, so he supplemented the explanation with the words "It doesn't feel bad to sell my father's land with a cub" and "The last handful of rice", so that it is very easy to understand.
When Bai Juyi wrote poems, he first listened to them to the old woman. After the old woman understood them, she would collect them. That's why there are famous poems handed down from generation to generation: "The grass grows in the original land, and the grass dries up every year; The wild fire cannot burn it out, but the spring breeze blows it again."
The Ming Dynasty's great speculation and scripture debate produced many results, but how to make these scriptures understood by the people is the key.
The Tianbing Rebellion in Jiangxi did not last long. A steady stream of memorials came to Beijing at high speed, especially those from Ganzhou Prefecture. After arriving at Zhangzhou Prefecture by land station, they were sent to the capital by hydrofoil sailing boats at a faster speed.
In early April of the fifteenth year of Wanli, Zhu Yijun received news that Tian Bing had retreated. The criminals and leaders of the civil unrest requested by the emperor were also arrested and sent to the capital by boat.
In the Wenhua Hall, the Emperor of Ming Dynasty sat on the platform, flipping through the memorials from Jiangxi. After reading for a long time, he said: "In general, the officials on the ground in Jiangxi responded very quickly. The governor of Jiangxi and the chief secretary made arrangements to appease him. , did not let the situation escalate further.”
"Moreover, after the Tian soldiers in the three counties retreated, they promised to reduce rents, celebrate New Year's Day and other old regulations, thoroughly investigate and close gambling houses, and root out traitors, etc., and they have all been implemented."
"The only difficult thing now is to return the farmland. My dear friends, do you have any good suggestions?"
The situation in Jiangxi requires a transitional policy to fulfill the emperor's promise without causing trouble to the point of requiring the Beijing camp to quell the rebellion.
"I have a copy of the memorial." Wang Guoguang stood up, went out and handed the memorial to Feng Bao, and forwarded it to the emperor.
The emperor needs the wisdom of his ministers, and the ministers must have a charter.
There are no conditions for universal return of farmland in Jiangxi. Implementation will face great resistance. At the same time, if you are not careful, civil unrest will occur. Tenants will rebel, and so will the rural gentry.
The Ministry of Household Affairs designed a land system, which focused on a compromise.
It not only recognizes the ownership of land by the rural gentry, but also imposes strict restrictions on the unlimited exploitation of land by the virtuous gentry.
"Yingzhuang system." Zhu Yijun looked at the memorial in front of him. The Hubu's method of fighting was gentler than the land return order, but a little more violent than Jiangxi's current land policy.
Yingzhuang means operating a farm. Ningdu, Ruijin, and Ninghua counties have set up twenty-eight camps in each township. These twenty-eight camps are operated by leasing acres of land in the three counties.
All land harvests were divided according to the distribution between one township, two public houses, and seven citizens. The virtuous and wealthy gentry of the township received 10% of the rent, the court received 20% of the tax, and the villagers received 70% of the harvest.
A camp can only have three official staff, namely the camp chief, accountant, and regiment coach.
Yingzheng is dispatched by the local government, accountants are hired by Yingzhuang, and regiment training is recommended by the township.
The function of the group training is to protect and jointly defend. Wild animals and thieves are dealt with by the group training. This group training can recruit civilians as volunteers to be responsible for protecting the village and other matters.
Zhu Yijun frowned and said: "The person in charge is the court, the accountant is the temporarily hired accountant, who is considered a member of the gentry, the person who settles the accounts is the gentry. The regiment is recommended by the people, and the force is controlled by the regiment."
Zhang Xueyan bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, the military force seems to be in the hands of the regiment, but in fact it is still in the hands of the imperial court. Compared with the small collective of Yingzhuang, the counties, prefectures, and roads have more military force."
"But within the camp, Tuan Lian does have control over the force. This force is useful in driving away wild beasts and thieves. It serves as a check and balance, preventing the imperial court from sending out township chiefs and camp officials to do whatever they want."
< br>
"For the common people, there won't be many changes, because they used to rent fields from the homes of the virtuous and gentry in the countryside, but now they go to camps to rent fields."
Zhu Yijun reviewed the camp system again. After reading it for a long time, he suddenly remembered Zhang Xianzhong, the king of Daxi.
Zhang Xianzhong was an important armed force that overthrew the Ming Dynasty. He liked to kill and kill. After Zhang Xianzhong's death, the rest of the Daxi Army chose to unite with the Ming Dynasty to fight against the Qing Dynasty, and achieved a record of defeating the king twice.
Two victories were the greatest victory since the Ming Dynasty lost to the Tatars in the Battle of Sarhu in the forty-seventh year of Wanli.
The camp system submitted by the Ministry of Household Affairs and the camp method used by the Daxi Army are not only similar in system design, but also have the same name!
Li Dingguo and Sun Kewang also relied on this camp system to fight against the Tatars, until Sun Kewang and Li Dingguo had internal strife and parted ways.
The camp was the last lifeline of the Southern Ming Dynasty and the last chance for the Southern Ming court to compete politically and economically with the Qing Dynasty.
"Isn't this just the Zhechong Mansion in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, just patched up? The only thing missing is the enlistment for combat." Wang Chonggu looked at it for a long time and asked his own question. After tinkering with this house for a long time, Wang Chonggu looked more and more like Zhechong. Mansion.
"In the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Zhechong Mansion was also called the Tongjun Mansion. The talented citizens of Zhechong Mansion served as government soldiers. Zhechong Mansion was mainly for the government soldiers. This camp was mainly for growing food in safety. Provincial tenants, landlords, and local yamen In order to cultivate the land, I pinch it every day.”
"The volunteers under the regiment training do not need to wander around to conquer." Wang Guoguang answered Wang Chonggu's question.
It is not a military force. It is mainly the Ming army. There are only 100,000 soldiers in the Beijing camp and 130,000 soldiers in the navy. The rest are all half-farmers and half-farmers. They are all military households. They are mainly responsible for defensive tasks. .
The treatment of the Jingying navy is very good. Every time they are recruited, they select a strong and good family member out of twenty, and the three generations of immediate family members have no criminal record.
"Who came up with this camp system?" Zhu Yijun flipped through the memorial and asked curiously.
Wang Guoguang took out a letter and said: "The governor of Liaodong, Yu Zhao, used this method in Liaodong. Camp means management, and it also means camp."
"In recent years, Liaodong has gradually stabilized. Liaodong has been reclaiming wasteland. It is not as dangerous as in the past, but there are also wild animals. In recent years, Liaodong has gradually turned into a camp like this."
"In the first month of the first month, I received a letter from Hou Yuzhao asking whether it would be possible to reclaim 440,000 hectares of land in Liaodong and establish an Agricultural Reclamation Bureau under the direct jurisdiction of the Ministry of Household Affairs."
Hou Yuzhao wrote all his years of land reclamation experience in the letter, hoping that the Agricultural Reclamation Bureau, which would be directly managed by the imperial court, would manage all mulberry farming matters.
The establishment of a province in Liaodong had already been put on the agenda. For this purpose, Li Chengliang became an official and followed his Majesty to the south of the Yangtze River to live happily.
However, after the start of the Korean War, the establishment of a province in Liaodong once again fell into the predicament of the past. The Liaodong army still had the basis for becoming a vassal town.
If the court takes more control, it may force the Liaodong Army to rebel. If the court does not care, the 440,000 hectares of land in Liaodong and the number of people have exceeded three million, and it may become a serious problem for the court.
The Liaodong Plain is a large granary where rice can be grown for one season and the harvest is excellent.
If we continue to allow the Liaodong Army to grow in power, within a few years, if Li Chengliang himself does not want to be An Lushan, it is time for his subordinates to force him to be An Lushan.
Hou Yu Zhao thought about it and came up with a good idea. He directly set up an agricultural bureau under the direct management of the imperial court. If the imperial court seized the grain of Liaodong, it would seize the stomach of the Liaodong Army. In addition, the gunpowder was controlled by the imperial court, so the Liaodong Army would not The vassalization continued, and the contradiction of establishing a province in Liaodong was relieved.
Regarding the establishment of the Agricultural Reclamation Bureau, the Ministry of Revenue still needs to communicate carefully with Hou Yuzhao. After all, the matter in Liaodong is huge, and if one person breaks the news, it will be in trouble.
"Then let's try the temporary camp system in Jiangxi. Let's see how this compromise works." Zhu Yijun made the decision to pilot the system in Ningdu, Ninghua and Ruijin counties. The exploration of the system requires trial and error. The unity of knowledge and action, the continuous improvement of contradictions.
"Shen Shixing reported that something strange happened in Songjiang Mansion recently." Zhang Juzheng said solemnly: "It's called Soul Monster."
"Calling the soul?" Zhu Yijun frowned and said, "What's going on? Evil spirits causing trouble?"
"It shouldn't be. Songjiang Prefecture is extremely wealthy, and local people do not need to seek sorcery to comfort themselves. If this evil spirit causes chaos, it is not unusual in Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningxia. How could it happen in Songjiang Prefecture?"
With great economic development, rapid population gathering and growth, goods from the nine provinces of the Yangtze River are collected and distributed in Songjiang, and part of the goods from the Grand Canal will also be collected and distributed in Songjiang Prefecture. In Songjiang Prefecture, where commerce and handicraft workshops are unprecedentedly prosperous, there is no spread of evil spirits in any case. Space is the right thing.
The less developed a place is, the more evil spirits can confuse people's hearts. Governors of Shaanxi such as Shi Maohua and Shen Yiguan often report this matter, and anyone who encounters it will be killed without mercy.
Anda Khan had a Han leader named Zhao Quan, who was the leader of the White Lotus Sect in the area north of Yanmen Pass. After defecting to Anda Khan, he gathered a large number of desperadoes.
The evil spirits headed by Zhao Quan often dressed up as monks and beggars, wandered around the country, spied on information, and even preached in the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty, creating a smoky atmosphere.
After negotiating peace in Longqing, Anda Khan handed over Zhao Quan and others to the Ming Dynasty.
In underdeveloped areas, where life is difficult and in need of spiritual comfort, religion will take advantage of the situation.
This kind of thing also happened in Songjiang Mansion, which made Zhu Yijun feel wary. It might be evil spirits causing chaos, or more likely it was powerful right-wingers, rural sages and gentry who were not willing to lose their economic advantage and social status. They gathered together. Singing against the Ming Dynasty's New Deal and undermining the New Deal.
But as Zhang Juzheng slowly unfolded the case, Zhu Yijun discovered that this was not the case.
Yao Guangqi, the magistrate of Shanghai, has figured out the cause and effect of the incident.
At the end of December last year, a stonemason named Chen Dongpeng worked outside for a long time, and his family was bullied. Chen Dongpeng frightened the villagers, saying that he had practiced a magic called Soul Technique with a Taoist priest.
Just write the person's name and date of birth on a piece of paper, stick it on the paper and hit it with a hammer, and the person will hear the sound of the blow, ranging from being mentally depressed to death from bleeding and trembling in the worst case!
Chen Dongpeng worked away from home for a long time, and it took him a month to go home every time. He could not buy a house in Songjiang Prefecture in the short term, and he was a citizen of Songjiang Prefecture, so he could only arrange threats like this.
Not long after Chen Dongpeng started working, a lazy guy who had bullied his family kept hearing the clanging sound of banging, and he was so frightened that he actually bled to death seven days later! Immediately, there was an uproar in Chen Dongpeng's Qidong Village, and everyone avoided Chen Dongpeng's family.
Yao Guangqi has found out that it was Chen Dongpeng who gave the lazy man three coins and asked him to pretend to hear the knocking sound;
The cause of this lazy man's death was actually very simple. He drank a lot of wine with the gangsters he met in the gambling shop, and they got into an argument over something different. Then he took action and hit the back of the head hard with a hammer, which was the fatal injury.
These few friends were afraid of being caught, so they went around telling people that it was Chen Dongpeng who practiced spiritualism and killed the lazy man. This made people even more panicked.
Shanghai County investigated this case for only two days, and the truth came to light. Yao Guangqi arrested the perpetrator and began the process of three repetitions of the death penalty.
Yao Guangqi knew that the soul-calling technique was fake and made an announcement, but he was flustered and uneasy.
At this time, some people found the Xilin Zen Temple in Songjiang Prefecture and asked Zen masters to exorcise evil spirits, hoping to prevent this so-called soul magic.
Something bad happened to the Zen Master.
The incense in Xilin Zen Temple is extremely prosperous, but the incense belongs to the entire Zen temple, and some Zen masters cannot get much incense.
As soon as he saw the soul-calling technique, a Zen master immediately found a new path to ward off evil spirits. Using the soul-calling technique as a link, he worked with several Zen masters to align the granularity and empower new hot spots. Several Zen masters immediately began to promote various evil arts. To deal with the harm, jade, wood, talisman and seal scripts and other evil-repelling combination boxings have been introduced one after another.
These Zen masters immediately received a large amount of incense money, and the rumors of soul magic became more and more widespread.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"Proof alone or not, this lazy man died from the so-called soul-calling magic. As time goes by, there is no more evidence. Isn't this rumor self-defeating? No matter how scared the pilgrims are, they can still continue to pay tribute to these Zen masters. "Isn't it possible?" Zhu Yijun felt that the matter was almost settled here, how could it get into the emperor's case?
It’s just to make some money, but you only give your money to scammers if you have evil intentions.
"These Zen masters also knew that in a few days, there would be no evil spirits causing chaos and everyone would be calm. In order to make the storm bigger, several Zen masters began to deliberately spread rumors and tell people everywhere that there were people who died miserably while calling soul magic. Next. But you can’t lie for long.” Zhang Juzheng sighed.
Not only fishmongers understand this, but Zen masters also understand that the bigger the waves, the more expensive the fish.
Faced with the decline in the flow of people, the Zen masters were very unwilling to accept that the new track of warding off evil spirits had come to an end. Several Zen masters discussed how to deal with it. One of the kings of ideas said: Knock people on the head!
Due to the opening of the sea, the population of Songjiang Prefecture was siphoned, and countless outsiders gathered. At this time, the Zen master only needed to find these humble outsiders doing hard work in the dead of night, and drop them with a hammer to kill them. This is called soul magic. The myth of wealth can continue.
The reason why we have to attack foreigners is that no one cares about these foreigners even if they die. Many foreigners go to other places by themselves, and they are not afraid of helping others. They are all fellow villagers who hold each other together for warmth, and their souls are called after death. Under this kind of evil spell, everyone can't avoid it.
After knocking seven people to death in a row, this soul technique immediately turned into bloody evidence and a threat.
Detecting murder cases is inherently difficult, but it is even more difficult to detect such a murder case with no conflict of interest, no direct relationship, and random killing. Moreover, the murder occurred in Shanghai County, and Xilin Temple is in the south of Huating County, Songjiang Prefecture.
Yao Guangqi searched for a long time before finally identifying these evil Zen masters.
Zhang Juzheng said with a sad expression: "This evil Zen master has no idea how big a trap he has gotten himself into."
"The case was solved and the culprit was arrested. The four counties of Huating, Qingpu, Shanghai, and Pudong made public notices, and even asked the government officials and firemen to preach from door to door. But the trouble caused by these evil Zen masters has just begun. ”
"Because it is not just these Zen masters who are engaged in the business of warding off evil spirits. All three religions and nine schools are engaged in the business of warding off evil spirits. Three people can become tigers, and many people can make gold. This is called spiritual magic. Everyone talks about it, and it becomes true."< br>
"On the third day of last month, the local people gathered and beat the foreign masons to death."
Things have gotten out of hand.
This mason is from Jingzhou Prefecture, Huguang, and is a fellow villager with Zhang Juzheng. Of course, this mason does not know Zhang Juzheng. He came to Songjiang Prefecture to work.
Songjiang Prefecture was building a bridge, and there was a big gap for the masons. When the mason was resting, he was teasing the child on the roadside. He was new to Shanghai and didn't understand the taboos in Shanghai County, so he asked the child what his name was.
This question is a bad thing.
The conditions for activating the soul-calling technique include name, horoscope, and mason. What does the mason want to do when he asks for the name?
The mason was frightened and was surrounded without knowing what was going on. As soon as the mason opened his mouth and his Huguang accent came out, he was quickly beaten to death by the Huangpu River. There were more than twenty people who did it, and no one acknowledged it. He was the one who killed him.
"The trouble is big." Zhu Yijun sat up straight. He realized why Zhang Juzheng said that the evil Zen Master didn't even know how much trouble he had caused.
The soul-calling technique gradually metamorphosed into a kind of power.
There are some locals in Songjiang Prefecture, but most of them are outsiders, and there are many rich outsiders. In absolute terms, there are more outsiders.
There is a contradiction in the beginning. This is called soul magic being transformed into a rule. If you don't understand the rules, you will be beaten to death.
The trouble with the case is that more than 20 people took action. Should they all be killed?
"How is the ground in Songjiang treated?" Zhu Yijun said with a frown: "This kind of rumor that has caused a stir is very harmful to people."
Zhang Juzheng said with a serious expression: "More than twenty people refused to admit it, so Yao Guangqi sentenced them all to death. These people finally became afraid, and finally identified the murderer after constantly identifying each other."
"The murderer will have to die, and the others will be exiled to Tamsui Town, Jilong Island. After five years of hard labor, they can return to the Ming Dynasty."
"Shen Shixing presided over the return of farmland in Zhejiang, leaving Yao Guangqi to handle it flexibly."
"Yao Guangqi didn't do anything else. He shut down the entire Songjiang Mansion and implemented a daily and curfew. No one was allowed to go out unless there were urgent matters. It didn't take long, and it stopped for a day and a half."
"It rains a lot in Songjiang Prefecture, and most people don't have any food saved. When this person is hungry, he only has one worry, and that is hunger."
"Yao Guangqi himself has a vicious look and a scar on his face. He sits in front of the county government office and eats nothing but water. He is starving with all the people in Songjiang Prefecture."
"He announced his birth date and said: If someone knows how to curse, just curse him to death, and the ban will be lifted naturally!"
Yao Zhixian was a human being, not a god, so he had no good solution, so he had to use light fasting therapy, starving everyone for a day and a half, and finally defeated this evil spirit called soul magic.
"Yao Zhixian must have been scolded miserably." Zhu Yijun was stunned for a moment. Yao Guangqi could also come up with this kind of light fasting therapy.
The scholars of the Ming Dynasty were really vicious, with many tricks and methods.
As long as the emperor only looks at the results and still pays attention to the officials, he can use any tricks for you. Of course, this has advantages and can accomplish things; but the disadvantage is that the power is too arrogant.
Zhang Juzheng said with a strange expression: "That's not true. Yao Guangqi was not scolded. In fact, everyone in the Songjiang Mansion was exhausted physically and mentally by this soul-calling rumor. Even production and freight were delayed."
"People are panicked and uneasy internally and externally. Yao Guangqi did such an outrageous thing, which proves the rumors are false and everything is completely clean inside and outside."
The emperor saw the willfulness of power and impeached Yao Guangqi for his misdeeds. The people in Songjiang Mansion who lived on rumors gritted their teeth with hatred. After all, if they did this, the business of warding off evil spirits would really be impossible.
Most of the people in Songjiang Mansion are grateful, at least they don't have to worry about being cursed to death by this soul technique.
Everyone's interests are different, and everyone will look at one thing from a different perspective. Songjiang Mansion is where the world's wealth gathers. This kind of rumor that makes the whole people uneasy can fish in troubled waters and make huge profits from it. In the end, Yao Guang Qiqi's own life was ruined.
Zhu Yijun tapped his fingers on the table a few times before saying: "Our kelp king and sun salt king are still very brave."
The Master did not talk about the strange power and chaos of the gods. This did not mean that the Master opposed the theory of ghosts and gods, but that he stayed away from it and did not discuss it. He did not say that it was false.
It is true that Yao Guangqi is a scholar, but this kind of rumor has reached the point where everyone is in danger. Yao Guangqi, who is in the middle, has never wavered for a moment. Is there really this kind of soul-calling art, a magic power that can mess up the gods? Take his life?
Yao Guangqi should have been afraid, but he still chose to be direct and use the most direct method to push himself to the forefront of the storm, directly provoking the evil arts, and finally broke the mess.
This is a kind of bravery. Yao Guangqi has never lacked bravery. There is a long scar on his face, which was cut by pirates when they grabbed kelp.
"If the Ming Dynasty had all officials like this, wouldn't I be able to sit back and relax?" Zhu Yijun said with a smile.
"Your Majesty is wise and wise. His blessings reach the heavens. Your Majesty is the guide for your ministers. Billions of people look up to you. You must act accordingly. The Ming Dynasty will be a natural monarch with saints and virtuous ministers. They will have good fortune and prosperity." Shen Li said calmly.
Hai Rui glanced at Shen Li in surprise. As an upright official, Shen Li just sprinkled water to wash the floor for the sake of the Ministry of Rites. Did he learn the trick of flattering Wan Shihe?
Shen Li hesitated to speak, but finally said nothing. He actually meant what he said.
Yao Guangqi was a dandy from the capital. He was also the man who kicked the poor coolies to the ground in Qianmen Building, threw a handful of money and left at will. He bought flower baskets in Taibai Tower, always for ten or a hundred.
Not appearing in Haidu Tongwen is already a blessing from our ancestors.
Yao Guangqi's transformation is closely related to His Majesty, and of course it is related to Yao Guangqi's own struggle.
Originally, Yao Guangqi might appear in the memorials of the Ministry of Punishment, but now Yao Guangqi is the king of kelp, the king of salt, and the beloved and warrior in His Majesty's mouth.
People's fate is always so wonderful.
After Zhu Yijun picked up the memorials and comments from Shen Shixing and Yao Guangqi, he sat up straight and said: "Although Songjiang Prefecture is changing with each passing day, from my perspective, the lives of the people of Songjiang Prefecture are not so satisfactory."
"It is always easier for the imperial court to see the gathering population, the devoured goods, the numerous handicraft workshops, the thousands of sails racing by, and the massive amounts of silver flowing into the Ming Dynasty from Songjiang Prefecture."
"But the population is increasing rapidly, road congestion, poor sanitation, good and bad public security, and the widening gap between rich and poor, etc., are all troubling the people of Songjiang Prefecture."
"The people have always lived in anxiety and extreme tension, and in the fear that their class may decline downwards. The string in their hearts has been tightened until the soul-calling magic was broken and it was broken immediately. It became like this.”
"It's not easy to live in the capital, and it's not easy to live in Songjiang Prefecture."
There are many contradictions in the Soul Calling Case. The Soul Calling Case brought out these contradictions, which is why it became like this and disturbed the saints.
It was Yao Guangqi who handled it properly, otherwise this rumor called soul magic would have spread to every corner of the Ming Dynasty along the river, following the flow of goods and business gangs, and it might have caused much harm.
Shen Li glanced at Hai Rui and smiled. This was the reason why he was flattering him. It was really the truth.
Your Majesty is wise, in your eyes, there are really all the peoples.
