Chapter 185 That’s it?
Zhu Houzhao listened carefully. Although he knew most of it in advance, there was still a trace of anger rising from time to time.
“Let’s talk about the Kong family first. The Kong family and their minions were arrested, 2,368 people, of which 1,236 people deserved to die.
The rest , the crime is not light either.
The fields were inspected and nearly one million acres were sacrificed.
There are more than 5 million acres of private land, covering the five provinces surrounding Lu.
The number of people hidden by it is more than 200,000. "
"The gold and silver treasures are worth more than 30 million taels, and the real estate is worth more than 8 million taels.
As for business, the Kong family only secretly supports people to do business, and some business banks give shares to the Kong family.
The total value is about fifty million taels. "Guo Bujing told the approximate figures obtained from the Kong family.
"How many people of our Ming Dynasty will die?" Zhu Houzhao made a loud bang in his hand, with murderous intent.
“In the past hundred years, it has been impossible to find out in detail.” Guo Bujing also sighed softly.
Ordinary people, in the eyes of the Kong family, are worse than livestock or even weeds. The number of people killed by them can only be said to be countless.
"Continue." Zhu Houzhao suppressed his emotions and said coldly.
“The officials implicated in the Kong family are most numerous in Lu, and there are also many in other places, and they have all been arrested.
The highest one is Li Dongyang, a former bachelor, and there are three chief envoys and five second-rank inspectors or general commanders.
There are thirteen third-grade officials, twenty-one fourth-grade officials, 256 fifth- to ninth-grade officials, and 2,103 civil servants. "
"A total of about 2.56 million acres of farmland was inspected.
The gold and silver treasure is about 6.69 million taels.
The property value is about 2.37 million taels.
The commercial value is about 13.58 million taels..."
Guo Bujing spoke in detail for a long time. When he stopped, Zhu Houzhao said coldly: "As soon as possible, the three departments will conduct a joint trial. Tell the Criminal Department and Dali Temple to hurry up.
I will chop them all up. "
"Yes. "Guo Bujing and Cao Zhengchun responded.
Zhu Houzhao became sulky again and asked seriously: "In your opinion, what is the martial arts power in Lu? ”
"Your Majesty, the land of Lu has been full of heroes since ancient times.
However, this is the hometown of Confucius, so the martial arts power has been relatively restrained, but the White Lotus Sect, I feel, is quite powerful in the land of Lu." Guo Disrespect pondered.
"Yes, Your Majesty, the White Lotus Sect is the best at deceiving people." Cao Zhengchun added.
"The White Lotus Sect is not a thing at all. As long as the people of Ming Dynasty can live a good life, who will rebel?" Zhu Houzhao doesn't care about a rebellious White Lotus Sect at all.
Seeing this, Guo Bujing and the others had nothing to say.
"Don't be careless about the martial arts forces in the Lu region. Investigate more. When the time comes, all those illegal and criminal martial arts forces and gangs will be wiped out." Zhu Houzhao said firmly.
"Yes." Guo Bujing and the other two responded.
"Lao Guo, you are back and have made great achievements in Ludi, so the position of commander of the Jinyiwei will be given to you." Zhu Houzhao said with another smile.
"I accept the decree and thank you, Your Majesty." Guo Bujing did not refuse.
Everyone knows that this position is reserved for him.
For this reason, Zhang Fengfu took the initiative to step aside.
"Just do your best. Jin Yiwei needs to be stronger and care more about the people." Zhu Houzhao said with high hopes.
"Your Majesty, don't worry, I and the Imperial Guards will not disappoint Your Majesty." Guo Bujing said solemnly, his eyes, tone, and will became increasingly firm.
Cao Zhengchun glanced at Guo Bijing with a hint of envy and displeasure.
He knew that Guo Bujing's strength would improve by leaps and bounds again.
But he's not bad either.
The greater the imperial power, His Majesty's trust in him remains. Dongchang's power is becoming stronger, and his strength is also increasing day by day.
After talking for a while, Guo Bujing left, and the imperial decree appointing him as the commander of the Jinyi Guard was also issued.
With a commander who can convince insiders and intimidate outsiders, the development of Jinyiwei will be faster and smoother.
The return of Guo Bujing has also made Jin Yiwei and Dongchang even busier, with the same fighting spirit.
Zhu Houzhao's attention shifted to Jin again.
Because after such a long period of preparation, the new society and county school will finally be implemented in Shanxi.
It seems that the smog has been swept away and the land of Jin has been completely renewed.
"Did you hear it clearly? On September 10th, all children over seven and under fifteen, regardless of gender, must enter the social school to study.
No excuses, You must go, this is the emperor’s decree.”
"Ah, I have to go to a social school to study. What about my family's work?"
"Yes, my two boys and one girl are going to go, what about my family's work?"
"How could the emperor issue such an imperial decree? Forget about boys, why should girls go to social studies?"
"Yes, it has never happened before."
"A group of women dare to complain about the emperor. If it weren't for the emperor, would we have the good life we have today? We pay less taxes, and no one dares to bully us. Letting our children go to school is a good thing."
< br>
"Yes, the emperor allows our children to study. We should be grateful. Where do you come from so many words?"
"I also know it is a good thing, but do you hear it? We have to study for eight months every year. We only have two months off in winter and two months in summer. What will happen to our family's farm work? "
"Hey, no matter what, it's always good for the children to study. The worst is for us to work harder."
"Yes, what can we do? Let's work harder. Didn't you hear what the official said just now? Not letting children go to school is a crime and must be punished."
·· ··
"Mom, can I also study?"
"Du, when I go to study with your brother, I don't know what the use is of the emperor letting the girl study? Hey." "Okay, me too I can study now.”
····
“Dad, I don’t want to study. Reading is not fun at all. Can I not go?”
"I don't want you to go, but it is a punishment. You must go. If you don't go, I will beat you to death.
If you go, you must study hard. If you don't read well, I will beat you to death. ."
·····
"Brother Li, I heard that this county school has changed since then.
You have to pass the exam to enter. br>
It is divided into six subjects: classics, history, medicine, business, organizational science, and craftsmanship. Classics and history are compulsory studies.
Choose one of the other four doors.
Hey, how can we learn about medicine, businessmanship, and such strange and obscene techniques when we read the books of saints and sages? "
"Yes, I heard that these four are the four colleges established corresponding to the Imperial College.
In the future, those with excellent grades will be able to be admitted to those four colleges. ”
"Also, both men and women can go to social studies, take county school exams, and even take exams for the Imperial College.
Does this mean that women can also serve as officials on a large scale? Isn't this ridiculous?"
"Big news, big news, from now on in Shanxi, there will no longer be college examinations or township examinations, and you can only enter county schools.
Then those with outstanding results will take the high school entrance examinations in the four major colleges of the Imperial College."< br>
“What? How could this happen?”
"Then what should we do with so many scholars in Jin? How could Your Majesty do this to us?"
"Hey, stop talking, let's go and see how to get into the county school?"
< br>"Go together, go together."
·····
The implementation of the new social sciences and county studies caused a huge stir in the newly calm Shan region.
Not only Jin, but also officials from outside Jin and even all levels of the martial arts community were watching closely.
Who doesn’t know that this new social science and county science were experimentally implemented in Shanxi.
If it succeeds and the Ming Dynasty has the ability, it will definitely be implemented nationwide.
And the content of this new social science and county science...
It has aroused huge discussion among officials and the people.
Mainly focus on two points.
First, women should also enter social studies and be able to take exams for county schools and Imperial College.
Will women also be able to serve as officials on a large scale in the future?
Second, forget about social studies. The classics are books of sages, and arithmetic and history are not out of line.
The four subjects learned in the county are complete, including the ways of merchants and the art of ecstasy.
How can I learn this?
Instead of reading the books of sages wholeheartedly, instead of learning these despicable ways?
How can this be so? How could this be?
The scholars all over the world are excited.
Forget about the current affairs of the imperial examination, forget about adding business subjects.
It was okay if the Confucius family was deposed, but it was okay if the Imperial College established the four colleges.
But the emperor obviously wanted to completely abolish the status of sage books and let all education in the Ming Dynasty be devoted to learning the despicable way.
They couldn't bear it, and they couldn't bear it anymore.
"Dear classmates, how can the book of sages be abolished? Your Majesty must have been deceived by the bitch. We must work together and write a joint letter to the Yamen and Jin Yiwei to remind Your Majesty."
"Yes. , we would like to remind Your Majesty, but we must do it reasonably and legally and not forcefully.”
"That's right, we are scholars of the Ming Dynasty. We must abide by the laws and regulations and must not rush into the yamen. We must write to His Majesty in peace."
"That's right."
··· ··
Similar sounds appeared everywhere in the Ming Dynasty.
The voices of the scholars were high, but they were also very calm. They had never been calmer since Taizu of the Ming Dynasty.
There is no way, this Emperor Shengwu is too cruel.
Thousands of scholars were killed when they were told and abolished when they were told.
The honors and honors that were finally obtained were simply gone, and people still don’t know where to serve as corvees.
Just a few months ago, the relatives and friends they knew taught them a hard lesson.
Don't be excited, impulsive, or break the law.
It's not that they are afraid of death or anything like that, the main thing is that they are scholars, well-informed and sensible, and cannot break the law.
The scholars were furious, and the officials were naturally dissatisfied, but no one dared to say anything.
The bodies of the seniors have not yet cooled down.
His Majesty is somewhat merciful to the scholars, saying that they are young and ignorant.
For officials like them, they are even more ruthless and never show mercy.
They could only be honest and submit letters jointly signed by the scholars in charge of the territory.
For officials of third rank and above, the corresponding memorials are sent one after another.
His Majesty did not say that he could not express his opinion on this matter anyway.
If it were not expressly stipulated that officials below the third rank could not directly submit memorials to His Majesty, then memorials from all over the country would have been sent flying.
Of course Zhu Houzhao knew the reaction from various places immediately.
Then, he was slightly stunned: "That's it?"
(Chapter 3, thank you for your support.)
