Nanming: I can build wonders

"Tang Jiancheng? I think he has nothing to do all day long, writing some rotten poems. He is not really Confucian at all!"

"The true Confucian scholars of my generation should pick on the Europa people, especially the women, and plant the seeds of Ming Dynasty for them. Brother, are you sure you don't want to go to investigate things with me?"

The scholar who is called a good brother also wants to go, but he is afraid that Tang Pengnian will wear small shoes for him.

"Afraid of Tang Pengnian? There is Master Jijiu, we are also a kind of knowledge!"

Look, from the words of these two Imperial College scholars, it can be seen that they are often hunted by scholars from other places!

But it is not difficult to find that they are really not short of money. Why is this?

Whether it is a scholar studying in the Imperial College or a scholar from other places, talk about having the privilege of tax exemption after obtaining the honor of Juren!

Then there will be a large number of self-cultivating farmers who choose to dedicate their fields to their names in exchange for tax-free treatment.

It's not that the farmers really didn't pay taxes, but that they handed over the taxes that should have been paid to the Ming government to these scholars who had tax-free privileges.

It's just that the tax rate charged by these juren is much lower than that of the imperial court.

Today, it happened that the Imperial College was closed for a rest, and most of the scholars in the Imperial College were not in the Imperial College.

They each call for friends, either go out of the city to play, or go to the flower building in groups of three or five to "find knowledge".

Tang Pengnian ordered to discuss the matter halfway, but many scholars chose to ignore it.

In the Guozijian, Tang Pengnian and others, who were the supervisors, quickly summoned some low-level civil servants who stayed in the Guozijian.

After all, Guozijian is also a regular imperial institution. Except for a few officials who have entered the ranks such as Guozijian Jijiu and Jiancheng, the rest are naturally civil servants affiliated to Guozijian.

Among the dozen or so civil servants, some were somewhat dissatisfied with Tang Pengnian.

This guy always makes troubles when Xiu Mu is off work, but they dare not speak out.

These ordinary civil servants have the lowest status in the Guozijian.

Even some scholars studying at the Guozijian shouted and shouted at them, but they did not dare to neglect them in the slightest.

After all, these scholars studied in the Imperial College, and no one can guarantee whether they will become Jinshi in high school and become bigwigs in the court in the future.

Power is only accountable to the source of power.

Not to mention that Tang Pengnian came here with Tang Pengnian, and there are still many officials in the court, although the official positions are not high.

The spirit of migrant workers, unless the family has some background, who would dare to ignore these officials.

Soon, scholars in twos and threes gathered around.

They didn't want to offend Tang Pengnian, so they came here.

About a quarter of an hour later, the Guozijian gathered nearly a thousand scholars.

They looked at Tang Pengnian with puzzled eyes, as if they were asking him why he took a holiday to make troubles!
There were also voices of discussion among the crowd.

Tang Peng coughed young, with a solemn expression on his face, "The reason for inviting scholars to discuss matters today is for a major event. If it is done well, I can guarantee that your names will be left in history. He is praised by scholars all over the world."

Hearing what Tang Pengnian said, all the scholars of the Imperial Academy were stunned, leaving their names in history?
What's the situation, is it possible that His Majesty is under house arrest by someone and needs them to rescue him?

Impossible, the entire Ming army only recognizes the emperor Zhu Kezang, and now that Ming is stable, how can it be their turn to leave their names in history.

Noticing that the eyes of the scholars changed from shock to indifference, Tang Pengnian said slowly: "Do you know that the imperial court is carrying out tax reform again?"

When they heard about the tax reform, they remembered the previous business tax reform.

But that's beating businessmen, reform and reform, it can't be reformed on the heads of scholars like them!
Immediately, Tang Pengnian truthfully told the scholars at the scene that the officials and gentry paid food and errands together.

He snorted coldly and said: "That thief Yang Ying actually asked the emperor to implement the law of paying food for officials and gentry in front of all the officials today."

This led to direct bombing of nests on the spot.

"what!"

"Officials and gentry pay food as one, how is this possible!"

"Yang Shangshu is confused, is he trying to make an enemy of the world?"

In fact, this was a collective decision of the Senate, but it was changed to Yang Ying's proposal by Tang Pengnian's spring and autumn style.

As if they had heard something incredible, the scholars couldn't help exclaiming one by one, their faces were full of unbelievable dark colors.

Those who can study in the Guozijian are not simple people. They just understood the meaning of officials and gentry in an instant just from the literal meaning.

At the same time, they also realized that once it was implemented, they would be finished.

Those officials still have money to support them, and they live a chic life on these tax-free land attached to them!
It is precisely because of the clear understanding of this point that the reactions of the Jushi disciples are so violent.

In the Imperial College, Gao Yu, Tang Pengnian’s dog-legged scholar, immediately reacted. As a supporter, he said in a low voice with a strange gleam in his eyes: "Master Jian Cheng, is what you said true? Do you want to implement the law that officials and gentry pay food as a whole? Where are the courts and lords, can it be said that no one from all the officials will stand up to oppose it?"

Gao Yu's background is not simple, he is the son of Gao Shiqi, a corrupt official.

Gao Shiqi was a legend in the Tartar Qing Dynasty.

Gao Shiqi was a genius during the Kangxi period. He was knowledgeable, capable of poetry and prose, good at calligraphy, intensive textual research, and good at appreciation. He had a rich collection of calligraphy and paintings throughout his life.

Kangxi was very kind to him, he took bribes and even leaked the emperor's private life, but he escaped unscathed.

Strange to say, in history, Gao Shiqi didn't know whether it was stupid or intentional. He learned about Emperor Kangxi's daily life and some of Kangxi's work and life in the South Study Room through Emperor Kangxi's personal eunuch. He wrote this information into a document. , sell out.

What's even more strange is that even so, Kangxi was just dismissed from office.

Later, during Kangxi's southern tour, Gao Shiqi was picked up twice.

Could it be that the two of them are friends?

Of course, when the Tartars fell, the Gao family naturally fell too.

Fortunately, his son Gao Yu inherited his genes and was very knowledgeable. He was once again admitted to the New Daming Juren Fame and was admitted to the Imperial Academy.

I saw Tang Pengnian speak slowly, and said in an official tone: "Presumptuous, how can you talk about the princes above the court, not to mention that the princes have tried everything possible to remonstrate with the emperor. It is the princes who do not have it, and it is not something you can say."

"Besides, Yang Ying has won the holy family. If you want to defeat him, you need all the scholars!"

Tang Pengnian was impassioned.

At this point, the scholars can be regarded as knowing Jiancheng's intentions.

Gao Yu said at the right time: "It is the responsibility of our generation of scholars to eliminate traitors and sycophants. Just say it, what do you want us to do?"

"If you are asked to sit quietly before going to the palace gate, would you be willing?"
