Chapter 854 Accelerate, accelerate, accelerate until the people awaken!

The Kong family is back!
Qufu became the Qufu of the Confucian family again. The land that the people had just planted for a few years was allocated to the Confucian family by Zhu Youjian.

Naturally, the Confucian family happily brought the imperial decree to accept Confucian residence and land in Qufu, but the common people were at a loss.

Didn't the imperial court say that all these lands were distributed to the people?
Now why give it to the Kong family again?
The people of Qufu gathered together and looked at each other in blank dismay. They looked blankly at the eunuch who announced the imperial decree, blankly at the proud Kong family, and blankly at the white sky.

Feeling powerless or angry?
The common people don't know, and they don't know how they feel now, probably everything is meaningless, right?
"Didn't the emperor say that this land was given to the common people? Why is it given to the Kong family now?"

"Our ancestors have planted land for the Kong family for so many years, and finally got our own land. Why do we want to give it to the Kong family now?"

"The imperial court promised us that these lands are ours. Why did they change their minds now?"

Looking at the puzzled people, the eunuch explained a few words very kindly: "What you are talking about is the first emperor, who gave you the land, but now the emperor has changed, so the new emperor has new rules. Ah, it originally belonged to the Kong family, so it's normal for you to return it to the Kong family."

But the common people were still puzzled: "But these lands belonged to us in the first place, and they were seized by the Confucian family later. Why does the imperial court now count all these lands as the Confucian family's?"

The eunuch didn't know how to explain it. Could it be that the Kong family was Yan Shenggong, and there was a Kong Zhongni in the ancestor of the Kong family?

The Kong family, on the other hand, proudly began to direct the local rogues to collect the land from the common people. At the same time, they also expressed that they welcome the common people to continue to farm the land for the Kong family. Renting is the same as before. For those things that forcibly occupied the Confucian family's land, but the rent owed for the past few years still has to be repaid.

After saying these words, the people of Qufu were dumbfounded. This land was allotted to the Kong family by the imperial court, and people still have to give the Kong family a rent for a couple of years?

How can there be such a thing in this world!

The people have just enjoyed the new laws and new policies for a few years, how can they swallow their anger?

So the people went to the county government to file complaints, but when they arrived at the county government, the people realized that the county lord of the county government was no longer a member of the New Party. Method.

When the old Juren heard that the people dared to sue Confucius' home, he ordered the government servants to beat the people out with sticks on the spot. Facing the people's crying and pleading, the old Juren said very calmly: "The land was given to Confucius' house by the sage. These mud-legged people are fortunate enough to farm land for the family of Confucius, and they are not satisfied, they are really greedy!"

"I will teach you a lesson today, and let you know how to respect Confucianism and Legalism!"

The people who complained were beaten back with sticks, and the people were completely at a loss. Why are there no new laws and new policies?
Everyone has only had a good life for a few years, so why did it go back again?

After experiencing no way to appeal, having their land seized, being forced to pay rent by local ruffians and owed debts to the Confucian government, the people of Qufu were in despair. The old Ming Dynasty really came back!

It's not just the Kong family, after Zhu Youjian took office, he vigorously restored the honorary title to win people's hearts.

What is human heart?

Xungui is the aristocratic class of Ming Dynasty, which naturally represents the hearts of the people.

Officials are the class of officials and scholars in Ming Dynasty, so they naturally represent the hearts of the people.

The landlords and gentry are the most extensive grassroots class in Ming Dynasty, and they are naturally the representatives of the people's hearts.

As for the people?

It is enough to be represented, and it is enough to work for Daming who sells liver and blood.

Glory has nothing to do with mud legs, status and prestige have nothing to do with mud legs. Mud legs have to stay in the mud all their lives, so that they can appear as powerful landlords and gentry who stepped on the mud legs, and can appear as honorable officials who stepped on the heads of landlords and gentry. They are superior, and the emperor can appear to be the only one.

That's it, one level is higher than the other level, the emperor is the highest level, sitting on the clouds overlooking all living beings, kneeling at the feet of honorable officials, all outside are landlords and gentry, as for the mud legs?
They are all humbled into the mud and dust, so naturally they are invisible.

Zhu Youjian appointed officials in a big way, and named a large number of depressed old scholars and rotten scholars who could only talk empty words as local county magistrates. appearance.

But they don't know how to govern the place, and they don't know how to calm the people and develop the economy. They only know how to read a few articles so that the people can understand them well. You can drink and have fun, have a romantic relationship, and use this as a scholar's elegance as a wonderful talk.

All of a sudden, the landlords and gentry from all over the Ming Dynasty found that the shackles on their bodies disappeared, the new laws and new policies no longer existed, and the anti-corruption department no longer existed.

Then everyone is on their own, what can happen between their own people and their own people?
Even if the county magistrate below caused some problems, the penalty of three cups of wine will pass. After all, everyone is a scholar, a scholar, and a high-ranking scholar. We are the people, the people of all the people in the world.

So the local gentry and landlords began to seize the people's fields by force. The people who thought there was a new law went to the county government to file a complaint, but they were beaten out, because the county lord still needs the support of these local forces, and the county lord also needs land property shops. .

As for the higher level, the magistrates and magistrates at the prefecture level are even more complacent. If a local gentry invades an acre, they dare to occupy a hundred acres, and if a local gentry invades a village, they dare to occupy half a county.

These unscrupulous and hungry gluttons plundered the people's fields and food. Once again, the magistrates once again had tens of thousands of mu of fertile land and a large mansion, and they could hire a lot of servants to enjoy themselves in peace, singing and dancing to their heart's content.

And the nobles are even more vicious. Those earls, marquises, princes and vassals have all returned one by one. Their houses are gorgeous and luxurious, their servants are hundreds of thousands, and large tracts of land have been assigned to their names. Untold amounts of food and wealth were gathered into their hands.

The artisans were once again reduced to humble status, the common people were as cheap as grass, and the merchants had to hand over half of their property to protect themselves, and even had to surrender most of their money to a certain big man in exchange for the opportunity to continue doing business.

For the sake of profit, the honorable vassal kings and prefects and prefects of various places unceremoniously set up gates in various places to block the originally smooth commercial roads. Unless the merchants hang the banner, they have to pay a large amount of tolls.

Merchants lamented how difficult the times were, the people once again had nothing to live on, craftsmen became lowly, brothels, brothels and casinos reappeared majestically.

The officials and lords are sensual and sensual, the honorable princes run rampant in the place, and the gentry and landlords oppress the people in the countryside.
The censor and officials of the capital received a large sum of offerings from the local government, and once again lived a life of extravagance.

The original house is back, and everyone can continue to listen to music, have fun, sing and dance wantonly, and live happily.

Of course, it is still necessary to raise Lianyin. After all, everyone’s salary is not high. How can we live without Yanglianyin?

However, Zhu Youjian believed that his Ming Dynasty was still prosperous and prosperous. The flattery of officials, the praise of imperial historians, the thank-you table of a large number of local dignitaries, and the Wanmin Letters presented by landlords and gentry all made Zhu Youjian think that Daming had already passed away. If he is completely controlled by himself, he can already govern the country and secure the world.

But the common people, merchants, craftsmen, those who had finally escaped from the lowly and slave status sighed sadly, they came back, everything came back, the once dim Ming Dynasty came back again.

The short-lived brilliance of the Tianqi Dynasty is so faint but so precious in today's gloomy Ming Dynasty. People can't help but miss the beauty of the Tianqi Dynasty, the beautiful days when families lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the world was peaceful.

I miss the days when everyone could live with dignity without being a slave.

I miss the safe days when I had enough food and clothing and didn't have to worry about corrupt officials, local ruffians and rascals.

But the Tianqi Dynasty is in the past after all, the Chongzhen Dynasty has arrived, and the Ming Dynasty is still the Ming Dynasty. The shortness of the Tianqi Dynasty made the people suddenly realize that there is no need for a change of dynasty, just a change of the throne within a dynasty can turn the lives of the people upside down .

It was also at this time that the common people began to miss Zhu Youxiao and Zhang Haogu.

Only then did the common people understand why the imperial court crowned Mr. Zhang as king. After Mr. Zhang left, those villains in the court would be unscrupulous!

The common people and businessmen all over the world complained, the lowly slaves wailed everywhere, but the officials and gentlemen indulged in singing and singing, and the nobles showed off their power. Zhu Youjian was so high that he couldn't hear the suffering of the people at all. He only saw what he could see. Only hear what he can hear.

And the censors, the honorable officials told Zhu Youjian that his Ming Dynasty was getting better and better, the loyal lords, the clean censors, the Chongzhen Dynasty of the Zhengying Dynasty can definitely be Far surpassed the prosperity of the Apocalypse Dynasty.

Zhu Youjian was convinced of this. He gave the officials such good treatment, restored everything that the nobles had, and allowed the local landlords and gentry to assist the Yamen in managing the place. He gave them so many things, rights, and status , property, house.
How could the officials and nobles and the landlords and gentry not be grateful, how could they not be loyal?

Therefore, Zhu Youjian believes that his Ming Dynasty is indeed getting better and better. It is right to restore the ancestral system and abolish the new law. Only the ancestral system and Confucianism and Law are the right way in the world.

What the world is not static, and what needs to be constantly innovated, these are all lies advocated by the New Party!

Naturally, what happened in Datong could not be hidden from the Datong Party.

Although the Datong Party retreated to Liaodong, there are still hidden people in Ganshan, Southwest, Southeast and other places. What's more, there is no secrecy about the news of the Chongzhen Dynasty. In addition, the Datong Party members have concealed their identities outside and some have taken refuge. The Jinyiwei gave Datong party members an intuitive understanding of the current Chongzhen Dynasty.

When the Datong party knew what Zhu Youjian had done, they were unbelievably angry!
How long did it take for the Datong party members to clean up the local landlords and gentry, so that the power of the central government can reach the local grassroots?

How much hard work did the Datong party members waste to establish a new policy and new law, so that the court can be revived and the people can restore trust in Ming Dynasty?

How much effort did the members of the Datong party achieve the prosperity of all industries and business in the Tianqi Dynasty?
But what did Zhu Youjian do?
He regarded the new policies and laws as dross, and abolished the Qingzhang farmland that had been promoted with great difficulty, and the comeback of the landlords and gentry made Ming's rule at the grassroots level a flash in the pan.

As for nobles and officials encroaching on the land and corrupting the law, the gentry and landlords oppressed the countryside and ran amok, which completely destroyed the trust in the court and the government that the common people had worked so hard to build.

It can be said that Zhu Youjian's very confident actions ruined the efforts of the entire Tianqi dynasty.

The world is already mourning, and the common people, merchants, and workers are lamenting, powerless, and they are extremely eager for when the emperor will find out that he is wrong, so that the world can return to normal.

And the members of the Datong party are already impatiently planning to send troops to the Qing emperor's side.

"Duke Ming, now that the people in the world are full of grievances, and the families of the people are ruined, we and the Datong Party members should take the side of the emperor at this time, and return the world to a bright future!"

"That's right, Duke Ming, this is the time when we are waiting to send troops, and the people look forward to us like rain after a long drought!"

"Those corrupt officials corrupted the law and harmed the country and the people one by one. If they continue like this, all our efforts will be in vain."

Zhang Haogu listened quietly to everyone's opinions. When everyone finished expressing their opinions and looked at Zhang Haogu expectantly, Zhang Haogu just said, "Well, I see."

Zhang Haogu's attitude made everyone puzzled. It stands to reason that Zhang Haogu shouldn't be the most angry one?
Why is he still so calm?

When the crowd dispersed in confusion, Zhang Haogu continued to draw up a pen to instruct documents, while Huang Zongxi and Gu Yanwu quietly stood aside, watching Zhang Haogu finish instructing on the stack of documents.

Zhang Haogu put down his brush, looked at Huang Zongxi and Gu Yanwu: "Tai Chong, Ning Ren, what do you want to say?"

Huang Zongxi said: "Duke Ming, the students are completely disappointed with what the court has done."

"Then why don't you persuade me to send troops?" Zhang Haogu asked.

"If you are not in your position, you will not seek your own government. The status of a student is here. What you see and think is only what a student can see and think. Most of them know nothing, so it is better not to talk nonsense as much as possible." Huang Zongxi Said calmly.

Zhang Haogu said with a smile: "It's a good one who is not in his position and does not seek his own government, so why are you still so disappointed in the court?"

"Although the position is humble, it's just that I dare not forget to worry about the country." Huang Zongxi said.

Zhang Haogu looked at Gu Yanwu again: "Ning Ren, what about you?"

Gu Yanwu said bluntly: "The students think that Duke Ming is more thoughtful. The students don't know what Duke Ming thinks, so they don't want to express any opinions. After all, what the students say right now is useless."

"However, the students are also very disappointed with the imperial court. Emperor Chongzhen is far behind the first emperor."

Zhang Haogu nodded: "Xiandi, Xiandi is as young as Chongzhen, but Xiandi is a little better than Chongzhen, because Xiandi didn't study and his brain was damaged."

Huang Zongxi and Gu Yanwu listened quietly, this was the first time Zhang Haogu commented on Chongzhen so contemptuously.

Taking a sip of his new tea, Zhang Haogu calmly said: "The late emperor was young, but he knew people well and appointed them on their merits; although the late emperor was a wealthy man, he knew the sufferings of the people and what the people wanted; the late emperor was broad-minded and had a broader vision is far beyond ordinary people”

"Chongzhen, he has read a lot, thinking that he knows a lot, he is stubborn, paranoid, suspicious, blindly confident, not to mention a county, even a farm in his hands, he can't manage well, now The big tomorrow is in his hands, and sooner or later it will be destroyed."

Zhang Haogu had no intention of attacking Zhu Youjian at all right now, he continued to practice his inner strength, but many people in the Datong Society were puzzled. Faced with many puzzles in the Datong Society and people constantly writing letters hoping to send troops.

"Ming Gong, everyone is very impatient recently, you should explain your thoughts to everyone." Huang Zongxi said.

Zhang Haogu nodded: "I've already made preparations for this, just wait for a few days to see how many people can understand what I mean."

"Forget it, let's hold a meeting. The idea of ​​the center needs to be truly understood by everyone."

After making up his mind, Zhang Haogu held a high-level meeting within the Datong Society in Fengtian Hall.

It is still the Hall of Qinzheng, but this time the number of people participating is less.

Cao Wenzhao, Cheng Wenyun, Zheng Hong, Chen Yawan, and Yuan Chonghuan all had their own tasks. Zhang Ruitu, Lu Xiangsheng, Yuan Yingtai, Tan Yong, Zhou Jinyong, Wang Wenyan, Huang Liqing, Yuan Keli, and Zhang Haogu were present at the meeting, making a total of nine personal.

After pouring tea and everyone drinking tea, Zhang Haogu also said, "The world is not peaceful these days. The emperor overthrows everything and wants to make a comeback of the old feudal forces. Many of us can't stand it anymore."

"This is a good thing. It shows that everyone has the world in their hearts and the people in their hearts."

"But who owns the world right now? We say it belongs to the people of the world, but those princes, nobles, officials and landlords say it belongs to the Zhu family. So does the world belong to the people of the world or the Zhu family?"

"In my opinion, it still belongs to the Zhu family."

"Everyone thinks that it's time for the Datong Society to raise troops to clean up the king's side, to crusade against those lawless noble princes, to crusade against those corrupt officials, and to make a bright future. I know everyone's anger, but what reason do we have to clear up the king's side? Do we want us to repeat Fengtian? Is Jing difficult?"

"That won't work, it's just repeating the change of feudal dynasties, and what we have to do is to change the world!"

"In today's world, the common people still have hope for the imperial court. They think that the emperor can turn over a new leaf, that the prosperity of Ming Dynasty can continue, and that the good days will continue. These illusions must be broken."

"People all over the world have unrealistic fantasies about the old society and feudal power, so no matter how we beat those corrupt officials and those lawless princes, they will make a comeback. Just like what I said, in the feudal soil Here, in this family world with strict hierarchy, it is impossible to grow the flower of great harmony in the world."

"We must let the people realize this, we must let the people have a sense of resistance, we must let the people stand up, and dare to resist this dirty old world."

"Only by tearing it all apart for everyone in the world to see, see clearly, and understand, can we lead the people to build a brand new new world."

"And before that, we can't simply use force, but to awaken the people of the world."

"Accelerate, continue to accelerate, and wait until the people of the world look forward to our coming again!"
