Chapter 710 Wanli Wanli, all families are violent

Chen Mo detained Lin Fucheng in the prison of Shanghai County, and then immediately began the interrogation.

"Master Lin, I was the one who protected you when you went to Baoding. I don't understand. Before the interrogation, I want to ask you why your majesty did not do enough?" Chen Mo did not let the jailer start recording, Instead, he asked a more personal question.

Lin Fucheng had a narrow escape from death when he went to Baoding. A stinky old man who dropped his book bag dared to go to Baoding to expose things that no one dared to say. He was really bold. And now, Lin Fucheng has been arrested and imprisoned by him. The charge was to criticize Cheng Yu. Hai Rui was arrested in a public security letter and had a reasonable charge of scolding the emperor.

Hai Rui was reluctant to scold His Majesty, but Lin Fucheng started scolding him, which Chen Mo could not understand.

In order to make Lin Fucheng feel at ease and say what he wanted to say, His Majesty gave him everything he could.

His Majesty sent people to protect him when he went on a study tour in Suiyuan. Even the free and anecdotal newspapers of Guangde Bookstore survived because of the protection of Wang Qian and Mr. Huang.

Lin Fucheng did not repay his kindness. Instead, like those cheap Confucians, he scolded the emperor.

"No, your Majesty has done a great job. The emperor of Qin, Han, Wu, Tang, and Song have long since passed away, but your majesty is a living saint. In the past thirteen years, your majesty has used his generosity to prove that he is the master of the world. It is precisely because of the good work that I want to write such a miscellaneous newspaper." Lin Fucheng was very sure of His Majesty's achievements, but he still wanted to criticize.

"Lin Fucheng, a native of Shanghai, a doctor of the fifth grade and the Five Classics, was the article in the August issue of "Xiaoyaoyiwen" written by you?" Chen Mo began the interrogation.

"Yes."

"Did you write it alone? Did anyone else help you, or encourage you?"

"I was alone, no one helped me, no one encouraged me ."

"Who instigated you to write the article?"

"No one instigated it."

...

Time passed quickly with questions and answers. Chen Mo checked the confession again, handed it to Lin Fucheng and said: "Make sure the record is consistent with your statement. If you find any omissions or errors, make corrections immediately." , if there is no problem, sign on each page. No pseudonyms or aliases are allowed. The signature on each page must be written clearly, and then put your fingerprint on the seam. "

Tiqi Review. The case does not necessarily require torture. For example, Lin Fucheng was very cooperative and explained the problem thoroughly.

In Chen Mo's opinion, Lin Fucheng was a little frustrated when he found out that Huang Gongzi was the emperor. He was afraid that he would not be able to finish what he said, so he wrote such a miscellaneous report, which was full of opinions, even if it was Even if your life is ended, you have to finish your words. In a sense, Lin Fucheng is a real opinion basket.

That Yuan Zongdao didn't even dare to listen to the end of his words, and even the nine tribes didn't dare to put it on the card table, treating him as a basket case for opinions.

"What will happen?" Lin Fucheng asked after signing the signature.

“I don’t know.” Chen Mo put away the confession, shook his head and said, “I don’t know what will happen. There’s no use regretting it now.”

“Do you think I’m right? Right?" Lin Fucheng asked with a smile.

“My lies are misleading the public!” Chen Mo shook his sleeves vigorously and said sternly.

“Hahaha!”

Accompanied by Yao Guangqi, Emperor Zhu Yijun of the Ming Dynasty conducted a comprehensive inspection of the Songjiang Prefecture Iron Horse Factory and fully affirmed Yao Guangqi's work, because the Songjiang Prefecture Iron Horse Factory has begun production and the iron horses produced have begun to be steadily supplied to Songjiang. Fuguanfang Minfang has reliable quality and high stability.

Zhu Yijun, who was in a very good mood, returned to the villa outside Yanzheng Tower, leaned on the Taishi's chair, and read a few newspapers to pass the time.

"Is this Lin Fucheng crazy?! He actually dares to scold me! Why does he scold me!" Zhu Yijun stood up from the Taishi chair and threw the miscellaneous newspaper in his hand. On the table, with an incredulous look on his face, he said sternly: "Crazy? This is simply treason. Take him to jail immediately! Immediately!"

Zhu Yijun was furious after being scolded by Hong Wen. Because Lin Fucheng said in the miscellaneous newspaper that during Jiajing and Jiajing, every family was clean, but during Wanli and Wanli, every family was violent!

He finally realized what Master Dao felt when he saw those eight characters in his later years. The Ming Emperor wished he could kill Lin Fucheng's family immediately!

"Tiqi has arrested him." Feng Bao said cautiously. Your Majesty is really angry. Generally speaking, Your Majesty will not pay too much attention to the accusations of these scholars. Your Majesty often treats these with a certain degree of anger. Joking and ridicule are not taken seriously.

But this miscellaneous report by Lin Fucheng can let His Majesty break through the defense. It obviously hits the point and touches the sore point.

The order to arrest people was not given by Zhu Yijun. As soon as he saw this newspaper, he was already so angry that he was so angry!

Zhu Yijun said sharply: "He said that my sympathy for the poor people and coolies is false! Why did he say that to me! In all dynasties, except me and Emperor Taizu Gao, who knows how to farm? ! The sweet potatoes that I personally breed and compile agricultural books have been planted all over the country, and to this day, there is still no tax on sweet potatoes! This means that the local government is determined not to collect taxes! ”

"Why is it so false! Is he blind?! Is he blind! Is it true that every family is full of hostility? I have worked hard for thirteen years in vain?"

Master Dao was scolded because Master Dao really messed up. Zhu Yijun has never slacked off in the past thirteen years, why was he scolded like this!

Zhu Yijun tolerated other accusations. He was scolded too much, so of course he was immune to it, but he refused to admit it!

His sympathy is never false! He was down-to-earth and changing the Ming Dynasty bit by bit. The sweet potato porridge in the broken bowl and the roasted sweet potatoes in the stove are becoming the memories of one generation or even several generations.

Sweet potatoes and potatoes have always been positioned as famine relief grains. If the emperor does not collect taxes on these two crops, local governments cannot collect taxes. Those rural gentry and gentry who work for the tiger will not be able to act as ghosts without the tiger. , even some middle-class families will choose sweet potato porridge when they are in lean times.

It doesn’t taste good. If you eat too much, you will experience bloating and acidity. Even the nutrients are not that rich. But eating some food is the most important thing right now.

"Go and bring him to me! I want to confront him in person!" Zhu Yijun knew very well that he could actually not express his position and let the Ming Dynasty's error correction mechanism operate. Lin Fucheng would have to shed his skin even if he died, but he just wanted to face him. The gongs and drums on the other side have a good break with Lin Fucheng!

"Your Majesty, Lin Fucheng is too eloquent." Feng Bao carefully reminded His Majesty that Lin Fucheng is not easy to deal with. He has never lost in verbal battles with scholars. Even the great lamas in Suiyuan are no match for Lin Fucheng.

"Bring it up." Zhu Yijun said calmly. He wanted to see what Lin Fucheng had to say.

When Zhu Yijun read Lin Fucheng's entire miscellaneous newspaper, he was so angry that he didn't think what he said made any sense. But after calming down for a while, Zhu Yijun felt a little annoyed and shouldn't have made the statement. There is still some truth to this opinion.

"The guilty minister pays homage to your majesty, long live your majesty." Lin Fucheng came to the imperial court in shackles and saluted respectfully.

"Remove the shackles, get up and answer." Zhu Yijun waved his hand impatiently. The more he looked at Lin Fucheng, the more upset he became. Lin Fucheng was not embarrassed by Tiqi, so he was neatly dressed and in high spirits.

After Tiqi took off his shackles, Lin Fucheng stood up and bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, suddenly there is an undercurrent coming out of the bottom of the river, rolling over the water like a wheel. Crisis is often hidden under the water. Wait until it is exposed. It's too late."

"Just like when the Nine Battalions of Zhejiang entered the city to suppress the bandits, it is a true portrayal of the undercurrent."

"You are the only one in the world who is a loyal minister. Can you remonstrate with me alone?" Zhu Yijun pointed at the table and said, "If you write this rebellious newspaper and make things difficult for me, if you don't deal with it seriously, these scholars will despise me and humiliate me in the future. You tell me how I will punish you! How can you not only make the world dare not offend me, but also not block the way of speech and make the world dumbfounded?"

Zhu Yijun realized that Master Dao was in trouble back then. When the law and order was neglected, Master Dao would not kill him. Without Hai Rui, the whole world will have to call Master Dao a tyrant. At the same time, the already weak correction mechanism of Ming Dynasty will be completely dissipated. The deception is already serious and the bottom line cannot be reached, which will become more serious. But if you don't kill, the emperor's face will be lost. Where to put it? In the end, it can only be closed.

Hai Rui did scold the Taoist master for breaking his defense. Zhu Yijun admitted that Lin Fucheng also scolded him, the Ming sage, for breaking his defense.

Because Lin Fucheng is right.

The entire miscellaneous report by Lin Fucheng has one core content. The rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer. Every family is angry and everyone has complaints. As a king, the emperor has an unshirkable responsibility. His Majesty’s The New Deal is all superficial.

The Wanli Reform seems to be vigorous and full of flowers, but it is all superficial. Only this sweet potato is indeed good governance that benefits all people. The rest are superficial and do not go deep into the foundation!

"How about exile to Java?" Lin Fucheng said tentatively, finding a place of exile for himself, with the exception of beheading.

He knew that he had gone too far, but everyone wanted to live, and it was better to die than live.

"If you want to go to Java to investigate the plantation industry, you can tell me directly. I will send a few ships to protect you and make you exile. Are you satisfied?!" Zhu Yijun is still filming Sitting on the table, Lin Fucheng was not at all tactful in his actions. No matter how reasonable you were, you could just go around in circles.

Now everyone is being framed.

Even if this sentence is Wanli Wanli, all families will benefit instead of all being violent, Zhu Yijun can be merciful outside the law, but Lin Fucheng is outspoken.

"Just be exiled to Java!" Zhu Yijun picked up the newspaper, looked at Lin Fuchen and said with anger: "You live well, don't die there, write a letter every year Go back to Beijing so that I can know that you are alive. In that place, you will get malaria five or six times a year. Go ahead and suffer. Don’t think that if the soldiers can survive, so can you.”

"You are right, I accept your criticism."

"In this article of yours, I have summarized that the results of the Wanli Reform are naturally fruitful, but these fruits have all been lost to hereditary officials and officials. The selection of officials, powerful right-wingers, and rural gentry were divided up. The middle-class families, common people, and poor coolies who accounted for the majority of the Ming Dynasty did not receive much benefit. "

Lin Fucheng again. He knelt down and said loudly: "The guilty minister has overstepped his bounds, but these words must be said, and this layer of window paper must be pierced!"

At this time, Lin Fucheng still did not regret the unauthorized article he posted. He was allowed to publish miscellaneous newspapers. If it happened again, he would do it even if he was beheaded in public. He is breaking through this layer of paper that is covering the window. It seems to be a thin layer, but it is difficult to tell it. But as long as it is told, no one can pretend not to see it, and the Ming Dynasty will be able to overcome the contradictions. Intensifying, keep moving forward.

Does this count as Lin Fucheng’s martyrdom? If you enter the game with your own body, you can win half the battle? It's probably true, but Lin Fucheng knows very well that His Majesty is a reasonable person. As long as what he says is reasonable, His Majesty will not kill him, but it doesn't count. Who knows if His Majesty will really kill him when he is so angry Kill his whole family.

Lin Fucheng is not trying to hype up his own reputation. The bond between the nine tribes is a reality.

"Your Majesty, Sir is here." Feng Bao whispered, and the Ming Dynasty Taifu, Zuo Zhuguo, Emperor's Master, Yicheng Bo, Wenyuange Bachelor, and the Ministry of Civil Affairs Zhang Juzheng saw the miscellaneous After reporting, he immediately came to Bieyuan to see His Majesty.

"Xuan."

"I see your majesty, long live Jin An! Such traitors don't wear shackles?!" Zhang Juzheng first greeted him as soon as he entered the door, and then said angrily, Lin Fucheng actually doesn't wear shackles? Who is so audacious that he dares to protect the traitor!

"Sir, please be patient. I'll let someone pick it for him. He wants to compete and break his heart to prove his loyalty, but I don't want to be King Zhou." Zhu Yijun sighed, motioned to Zhang Juzheng not to be so angry, and sat down. say.

Zhang Juzheng did not sit down, but bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, Lin Fucheng criticized the public, used his favor to slander, attacked the foundation of the country, used evil words to confuse the public, made evil words that were contrary to heaven and earth, and was treasonous. The crime deserves to be punished! I ask your majesty to punish this beast to set the record straight!”

Your majesty does not have to bear the reputation of murder, Zhang Juzheng will bear it.

In Zhang Juzheng's words, the most important thing is to attack the foundation of the country. In the feudal monarchy, criticizing the holy king cannot be recognized by Zhang Juzheng no matter what. He cannot establish his authority without killing.

"I have never been worried about gaining notoriety. From the beginning of my southern tour, I killed more than 720 people of the Hejian Zhang family in Tianjin Prefecture. When I arrived in Xuzhou, it was because of the corruption of Chen Wuyin, the former prefect of Xuzhou. The case eventually escalated to the point of extortion, and when it came to Zhejiang, all large households with more than 100 hectares were ransacked. Everywhere they went, there was bloodshed. "Zhu Yijun talked about this southern tour.

During his southern tour, Zhu Yijun killed many, many people, and these two things, Nanya's payment of wages and Zhejiang's counterinsurgency, will be infamy for thousands of years. He never cared about reputation.

"What Lin Fucheng said makes some sense." Zhu Yijun said with a little helplessness: "The Wanli Reform has produced many fruits, but they have all been stolen. It is my fault."

" What's the point? It's just nonsense! Your Majesty, don't believe him!" Zhang Juzheng was still aggressive and looked like he wanted to kill someone.

When he saw the words "Wanli, Wanli, and all families are violent", Zhang Juzheng was even more angry than the emperor. He wanted to kill him immediately, and he also hated himself. Such nonsense should not be allowed to flow freely. Letting this group of opinionated people talk nonsense and punishing the Nine Clan to intimidate them is the fastest and surest way.

Seeing that Zhang Juzheng was furious, Zhu Yijun became calmer. He looked at Zhang Juzheng and said: "Sir, don't be angry. Sit down and talk. Be calm. I am not angry anymore. Why are you angry?"

"Lin Fucheng started talking about the law of clearing the land. The law was completed, but no further action was taken to return the land. Now the only places that are returning the land are Songjiang Prefecture and Zhejiang. And Zhejiang is still rushing to the shelves. If it hadn't been for the fire I'm afraid Zhejiang won't return the farmland yet."

"Yes, Lin Fucheng's guess is right. I really have no intention of returning the farmland during this southern tour."

Zhang Juzheng finally sat down and said immediately: "It's not that I don't want to do it, it's that the time is not ripe."

Zhu Yijun shook his head and said: "Then when will it be considered mature? In other words, the court meeting has really set the time. Is it a mature standard? No, no one mentioned it. This is not because the time is not ripe, but because the court has no intention to promote the return of the land. The gentleman has already returned to power, and I am slacking off."

"Returning the land is the reason. The redistribution of the means of production will definitely lead to more intense social conflicts, whether sooner or later, this pain is inevitable. ”

Lin Fuchen and Tian Fa expressed their doubts. Is His Majesty the Emperor very satisfied with the results of the current New Deal? Are you satisfied to the point of slacking off?

"Returning the fields was written by me. I... thought it would be better not to do it." Zhang Juzheng was silent for a moment, but gave his own opinion. The Ming Dynasty was good enough, but it did not return the fields because it was The huge profits from the sea are enough to alleviate the widespread contradiction between man and land, and there is no need to excessively pursue the redistribution of the means of production.

"Why not do it? Because there will be intensification of conflicts, and even endanger the country, and more specifically, it may endanger my safety, or my throne. So, sir, do you still think Lin Fucheng Is it wrong to criticize?" Zhu Yijun sighed.

Although Zhu Yijun, Zhang Juzheng, and Lin Fucheng did not say it so clearly, the meaning is actually very clear. The emperor may or is becoming the resistance of the New Deal, and the emperor, the initiator and presider of the New Deal, becomes the New Deal's If there is resistance, the New Deal will inevitably fail.

As the supreme emperor, for the sake of temporary peace and comfort, he chose to become the holy emperor who ruled from the top down in the words of the humble Confucians. The New Deal stagnated or even regressed, which seemed to be a better choice.

The fact is that Zhu Yijun was indeed a bit slack. As the leader of the New Deal, he did not continue to implement the land return order and the whipping law.

"Zhejiang is already doing it, and what Lin Fucheng said is wrong." Zhang Juzheng was still very insistent. Why was the land return order not implemented? Zhejiang's Zheshe households with more than 100 hectares were confiscated and their fields were distributed to the people. Is it fake?

Moreover, there is no title deed for the allocated land. These acres of land are collectively owned, based on the standard of 110 households per mile. They are collectively owned and any form of buying and selling is not allowed.

Zhu Yijun didn't say much. He knew very well that even if he broke the news today, Zhang Juzheng would not admit that Lin Fucheng was right. If Lin Fucheng was right, His Majesty was wrong, but His Majesty is the Holy Lord and Mingjun. This cannot be denied. At least Zhang Juzheng cannot deny the fact that the Zhang Party and the Chu Party with Zhang Juzheng as the core, and even the Xunli officials in the world, cannot deny it. Otherwise, what is their hard work and struggle?

In Zhu Yijun’s view, what Lin Fucheng said makes some sense. Songjiang Prefecture’s land return order and one whip law were implemented very well. Songjiang Prefecture essentially abolished labor service and instead allocated labor service to acres of land. However, the Ming court had no intention of fully implementing the decree.

Zhu Yijun continued: "Sir, I have indeed slacked off a bit. You see, the Ren family and the Chu family are engaged in bank business in the name of insurance in Songjiang Mansion, issuing usury and loan sharking. I don't approve of it, but I only deal with it." The Ren family and the Chu family have been eliminated, but there is no further system construction, improvement, or crackdown on these fund-raising and lending industries."

"I actually have a bit of a gloating mentality, and I have been fooled too much. Fortunately, they will be willing to intervene if the court intervenes. But this state affairs is not a child's play, and one cannot be angry."

Lin Fucheng's criticism is not unfounded, but very real. , he mentioned the chaos in Songjiang Mansion Insurance, but the emperor did not take any further action, and even refused to establish the most basic supervision. This is the emperor watching the fun, sitting on the mountain and watching the fight between tigers.

But His Majesty's watching the excitement and sitting idly by is a kind of harm to all the people, and his sympathy for the poor coolies is illusory.

Sitting back and watching the insurance chaos is condoning lawlessness. Those who suffer the most are the poor coolies who have to bear high interest rates, and the middle-class families who are deceived. Their life savings are destroyed in an instant.

Ming Dynasty's official insurance is real insurance, so that even if the ship is swallowed by the violent ocean, the maritime merchants will not lose everything. At least they can continue to work. This is a way to evenly share the risk, but for more than 50,000 miles The only ones who can protect the voyage are the merchants affiliated with the ocean-going trading houses, all of whom are powerful and powerful.

The policy of the Ming Dynasty only protects the interests of the powerful and powerful right-wingers, but does not protect the people under the powerful and powerful right-wingers. Isn't this false sympathy?

Lin Fucheng's criticism is not a general or empty criticism, nor is it the shady and eccentric way of criticizing Confucianism, but the criticism is very direct.

Zhu Yijun took a deep breath and said: "In this way, relying on the expansion of Songjiang Prefecture Maritime School, I will spend one million silver specifically for the expansion of the Maritime School and the establishment of an affiliated third-level school dedicated to In cultivating mathematical talents, real money investment and more mathematical talents are the key to solving the problem."

"Similarly, the Songjiang Prefecture Insurance Department, specializing in supervising the censor, must monitor anyone engaged in insurance. Merchants conducting business must carry out adequate review, especially the qualification review, and be strict with it. When necessary, the Tax Inspection Institute must also cooperate with the tax authorities to conduct thorough inspections of their actual owners and make up for the taxes.”

"Necessary supervision is imperative. Similarly, after the imperial court obtains more mathematical talents, it will expand the scope of official insurance."

"If the problem exists, it must be solved."

"Your Majesty is wise." Zhang Juzheng bowed his head again and said.

There is a widespread lack of arithmetic talents, which is a dilemma faced by the imperial court. When Galileo came to Ming Dynasty, he was as good as Doctors of the Five Classics in arithmetic, which already illustrates the problem. Ming Dynasty was a celestial country, and there were It has the most complete education system, the most complete talent training process, and the largest number of scholars in the world, but the top figures in arithmetic are at the same level as Panyi. This is the dilemma of insufficient talent.

His Majesty had no choice but to come up with his own method to become stronger with krypton gold.

"By the way, let's clean up these messy insurance banks in Songjiang Prefecture. At least we can't let the luxury households hide behind the scenes and make the most money without taking any responsibility. There is no such good thing in the world." Zhu Yijun further made clear arrangements.

"As for you, Lin Fucheng, go to Java. Don't come back to the hinterland for three to five years, and don't die outside." Zhu Yijun took a deep breath and punished Lin Fucheng. Exile is a must. , even if what he said makes some sense, the feudal monarchy has its own limitations.

Criticizing the emperor, I am determined not to let him escape unscathed.

"Your Majesty, if we don't punish these traitors, it won't be enough to put things right!" Zhang Juzheng was still very insistent.

"Sir, if criticism is not allowed, then praise is meaningless, so be it." Zhu Yijun still did not follow the Taifu's advice and chose exile instead of beheading.

Allowing criticism does not mean allowing absolute liberals and cheap Confucians to talk nonsense and make up random things.

"Sinner, I thank you for your kindness." Lin Fucheng kowtowed again to express his gratitude. His Majesty was really showing mercy beyond the law. For this matter, even if His Majesty really wanted to kill his whole family, no one would intercede for him. But if I ask him to do it again, he will still say that he will publish this miscellany.

"Go down, I will ask Ying Yanghou to take care of him a little more." Zhu Yijun waved his hand, signaling Lin Fucheng to leave.

Lin Fucheng packed his luggage and looked at the fifth-grade official robes, Wat boards, seals and ribbons, etc., and sighed heavily. He handed these things to Tiqi, but Chen Mo did not accept them. It was not within his scope of authority and responsibility. He went to inquire with the officials from the Ministry of Civil Affairs who were accompanying him. The Ministry of Civil Affairs said that Doctors of the Five Classics were not under their control. Lin Fucheng ran around and finally found the internal eunuch Yinshou to return Yinshou, but he was intercepted by the eunuch Yinshou. Tell me, without an imperial edict, it will not be withdrawn.

"Zhang Daban, Zhang Daban, the outer court doesn't care about the official status, seals and ribbons, nor the inner court. Where can I return them?" Lin Fucheng saw Zhang Hong. In fact, Lin Fucheng was running around and was known by the eunuchs in the palace. , Zhang Hong is specially here to deal with this matter.

"Fifth-grade Doctor of the Five Classics, tsk tsk." Zhang Hong grabbed the seal, looked at it for a long time, then put it back and said, "Every Doctor of the Five Classics is personally conferred by His Majesty. Since His Majesty has not said that he wants to take it back, just take it." Come on, do you think you can survive in Nanyang without this official robe and official status? "

This official status of Lin Fucheng is not the official status of the Governor's Palace, but the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty? , the official status appointed by the emperor is a very special existence when it comes to Nanyang. Whether it is the national surname Zhengmao or the Yingyang Marquis Zhang Yuanxun, someone must be sent to protect it to prevent accidents.

This is not an official status, but Lin Fucheng's life-saving talisman, the guarantee that he can survive.

"Your Majesty asked our family to give you a book, a farming book. When you arrive in Nanyang, you should find out everything about the Nanyang plantations. The opinion basket will play its role and give you good opinions." Zhang Hongna A farming book compiled by the emperor himself was published and given to Lin Fucheng. He was exiled to Nanyang. He was also given a task to fully understand the situation of Nanyang plantations.

"The guilty minister kowtows to thank the emperor for his kindness." Lin Fucheng faced the direction of the Beiyuan Palace and made a great salute, bursting into tears.
