Follow Zhu Yuanzhang to conquer the country

Chapter 257 Establishing a country as far away as the Han and Tang Dynasties

Chen Youliang was stunned for a while. He didn't expect that Zhou Wenxian, who had been working by his side, would also betray him.

Then, Chen Youliang's face gradually became ferocious, and he looked at Zhou Wenxian: "You will betray me!"

"Your Majesty, what are you not good at learning? You want to learn from Datong Thieves."

"In the past, Wen Yanbo once said: The king and the scholar-bureaucrats rule the world, not the people! Today, your Majesty established the Enriching Society, which is a perverse move, so we have no choice but to admonish him."

Zhou Wenxian replied with a gloomy face.

After hearing this, Chen Youliang was not furious, but smiled bitterly: "Others don't understand why I set up the Enriching People's Society, don't you understand?"

"Don't you know why I set up a society to enrich the people, clear out the land, and ban the planting of cotton?!"

But after asking, Chen Youliang couldn't help but loudly continued to ask Zhou Wen who came first.

Zhou Wenxian said: "I know."

"but!"

then.

Zhou Wen asked first and then smiled at Chen Youliang: "Your Majesty, it's too late. It's too late that you set up the Enriching Society for the People."

"Don't you want to destroy the Datong bandits?!"

Zhou Wenxian stared at Chen Youliang and said, "Yes! I have even dreamed of destroying the Datong Society!"

After Chen Youliang said this, he put his hands on his hips and grinned.

"If we can destroy the Datong bandits without sharing the world with the people, we should have destroyed the Datong bandits last time."

Zhou Wen first said this and then walked up to Chen Youliang: "If we set up a society to enrich the people and be forced by the society to make the ethics and ethics disappear, what is the difference between being destroyed by the Datong thieves and the ethics and ethics no longer exist?"

After Chen Youliang heard what Zhou Wenxian said, he took a few steps back, and then even fell to the ground and looked at Zhou Wenxian.

"What's more, the Datong thieves can bring us business profits and have more strength. In this case, why should the wise people in the world choose Fumin Society?"

Zhou Wenxian then whispered to Chen Youliang, "You should accept your fate."

Afterwards, Chen Youliang nodded himself, and then smiled bitterly with a frustrated look on his face: "You are right, it's too late!"

"It just so happened that he met Zhang Cheng first, not us."

"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"

"But the fact is that if we don't share the world with the people, we can't destroy the Datong thieves!"

Chen Youliang looked at Zhou Wenxian and said, "In that case, I will listen to you and decree that the Fu Min Society will be abolished and all other common affairs will be handled by you."

"He Zhu Yuanzhang is so lucky!"

"Since you know, why did you betray me?!"

Chen Youliang sighed with emotion, and then said something else.

Zhou Wen first bowed his hands and bowed.

"Now you are here to tear me down."

then.

After that, Zhou Wenxian abolished the Datong Society in the name of Chen Youliang, stopped the clearing of land, and withdrew the edict banning cotton planting.

The wealthy gentry under the Chen Han regime breathed a sigh of relief.

It's just that Chen Youliang himself completely gave up his desire to compete for the world because of this.

He began to live in a state of drunkenness and dream, and even ordered to select concubines from among the people, and even ordered to increase taxes. In short, he would destroy the country as quickly as possible. First of all, Chen Youliang himself doesn't really care about the life and death of the people.

Secondly, now it can be said that his hope of becoming the master of the world has been completely shattered, so he will simply give it up and just focus on pleasure.

Thirdly, after he knew that Zhou Wenxian and Luo Chaoyong did not support him in establishing the Fumin Society, and would rather sit back and watch Chen Han be destroyed by the Datong Society in the future, he simply wished that his Chen Han regime would be destroyed as soon as possible, because of this , and also allow wealthy gentry such as Zhou Wenxian to be punished by Datong Society as soon as possible.

Therefore, Chen Youliang simply changed from being determined to reform to being determined to harm the people.

Because Chen Youliang only cared about pleasure and making money, his bureaucrats also took this opportunity to increase their efforts to make money and plunder the people.

For bureaucrats such as Zhou Wenxian, Datong Society will not only clear land and levy luxury taxes, but it will not conduct a thorough land liquidation of the wealthy gentry who have actively surrendered, so they do not have to worry about ruthlessly plundering the people and leading to future expropriation. The Tongshe will be liquidated, but it will only be used to plunder more people's wealth and support from the Datong Society before Chen Han is destroyed.

For a while.

In the entire area controlled by the Chen and Han regime, annexation became more serious, and thieves and refugees further increased.

Many refugees have begun to migrate to Datong society on a large scale.

When Zhang Cheng learned that the Chen Han regime had abolished the Fumin Society and began to exploit the people even more, he just sighed slightly.

What he sighed was that as long as the people of the Chen-Han regime refused to take the initiative to defect to Datongshe, which represented a more advanced civilized regime, and passively waited for the more advanced regime to rescue them, sooner or later they would accidentally end up in a backward regime due to the influence of the advanced regime. After giving it warmth, it was doubly plundered again.

On the contrary, many literati and officials in the Chen-Han regime, like Liu Bowen and Song Lian, recognized the superiority of Datong Society very early, and took the initiative to join Datong Society before Chen Youliang established the Fumin Society.

For example, Zhang Zhong, a scholar from Linchuan, took the initiative to come to Jiqing, accepted Liu Bowen's recommendation, and entered the Department of Civil Affairs.

For the scholar-officials, although Zhang Cheng and Zhu Yuanzhang established the Datong Society together, they knew that they, the scholar-officials, would still have the final say in the world, not the people.

Because most of the means of production in this land are still controlled by them.

It just so happens that the Datong Society's governing philosophy does not advocate arbitrarily depriving others of their private property. Therefore, for the scholar-bureaucrats who occupy most of the world's means of production, the Datong Society may even be a tool to help them continue to legally exploit the people of the world.

The only difference is that they just can't treat the people as harshly as before.

Moreover, the scholar-bureaucrats all know that even if they cannot be as excessive to the people as before, they cannot be as excessive to the people as before for a period of time. As long as a few generations pass, most of the members of the Datong Society will also become in control. After the powerful bureaucrats control most of the means of production, the world will naturally return to a time when the common people are treated less and less like human beings.

"Although it is the Datong Society, the officials are still mainly from us scholars. Thinking about it this way, it is okay for the Datong Society to govern the country by society."

On this day, Zhang Zhong told Liu Bowen the reason why he did not dislike Datong Society in Liu Bowen's private residence in Jiqing City.

"Yes!"

"Even officials who are trained among the common people will naturally become new scholars in the future."

"No matter what, there is no one in this world who has read books and gained knowledge, and is still willing to be a low-ranking person! It is impossible for civil servants, and it is impossible for military generals, even for eunuchs!"

"There has always been a distinction between high and low. This is the law of nature and cannot be resisted by human beings."

"It's just that Mr. Zhang's intention in governing was to make all Han people rich. Therefore, the officials of Datong Society in the first generation had to work a lot harder, but doing things for the people and sharing the worries of the king have always been the duties of ministers."

"Now the leader is more ambitious than Chen Youliang and more caring for the people than Zhang Shide."

"So, maybe we will be lucky enough to see a Han country standing in the world far away from the Han and Tang Dynasties."

Liu Bowen also started talking at this time.

He still admires Zhang Cheng quite a lot. In his opinion, Zhang Cheng can make great changes in the world, save countless people, is not corrupt or mean, and will be a good minister of the founding of the country in the future.

Similarly, now that Liu Bowen has joined the Datong Society camp, he is also happy about Zhu Yuanzhang's excellence, and is no longer worried.

Therefore, Liu Bowen began to hope that Datong Society would really make a Han country more powerful than the Han and Tang Dynasties appear in the world in the future.

After Liu Bowen said this, Song Lian, who was also here, also nodded and said: "So far, the territory is still as large as that of the Mongolian and Yuan dynasties. Perhaps because of our Datong Society, our Han family can also establish a territory that is far greater than that of the Mongolian dynasty." Yuan’s country comes out!”
