Ming Dynasty, starting from the empty seal case

Chapter 174: Going with the flow
"Gudong!"

The three of them looked at the "Treatise on Taxation of the Four Peoples" written on the rice paper in front of them, which was already quite neat but full of energy.

He swallowed involuntarily, and immediately felt that his heart was about to beat out.

Although he had been prepared before and knew the little dean's temperament, this time it was completely different. Did he know... If this "On the Taxation of the Four Peoples" were spread, how much turmoil would it cause?
Huang Ke summarized the most alarming points above almost immediately.

1. We cannot unite all peoples, we can only use the strength of all peoples!

2. The policy of the four peoples, the scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, use the next three people to support the first people!
3. Past events from the previous dynasty: The officials and the gentry all refused to receive food!

4. Various miscellaneous taxes, as well as the Ming Dynasty commercial tax!

5. Rich households...

Every time this article is spread, or even discussed in other places, I am afraid that the next day, I will be charged with "confused the public, made false remarks on state affairs, and deceived people's hearts."

Fortunately, this was the Gewuyuan, but even so, Huang Ke and others still felt frightened.

It's been almost a month since I heard the names of the Su family father and son, but based on last time, even the Holy Emperor used the Eighth Princess's engagement to build momentum for them.

After recovering his mind, Hu Weiyong looked at Song Shen. Since Su Xian was kicked out of the main hall, the latter had avenged his grandfather and followed him on the right path.

Suddenly, Huang Ke suddenly discovered that the Gwuyuan he was in seemed to have become different from a certain moment.

"Don't say any more unnecessary words. Just integrate these into the fourth page."

Although many people speculated that the Holy Emperor did not intend to give Su Xian the status of a royal relative. I am afraid that he was repaying the kindness of saving the crown princess and the emperor's eldest grandson interceded, so he protected Su Xian.

But you don't have to joke, just say it, this is a God-given marriage contract, how can you fake it?
Therefore, when others relax, you cannot relax yourself.

Restructure!

However, what Su Xian didn't know was.

Lu Shan quickly said yes.

"Because now is the stage of raising issues, and it is far from the stage of solving problems."

Only in this way, in the collision, may the answer be found.

There are only a few days left in February. Fortunately, there are enough craftsmen in Gwuyuan at this time, and the printing efficiency has already been improved.

And because of the one-year preparation time, each of its bookstores issued express reports at fixed times, and the people were already familiar with it.

He warned again: "Just print it and send it out on the first day of February together with the first three editions I mentioned before. You don't have to worry about anything after that."

As long as it is released, it will be shocking!

Su Xian smiled.

the reason is simple.

"Why are there all questions here and no solutions?"

Contrary to the speculations of others in the government and the public, Hu Weiyong did not underestimate him this time as before.

After hearing this, Huang Ke seemed to think of something and couldn't help but shudder.

What is problem solving?

At this moment, Huang Ke, who had been silent all this time, suppressed his emotions and suddenly asked.

At this moment, Su Xian interrupted the two people's meditation, as if he knew what they were thinking.

The next morning, Zhongshu Province.

But he is very clear that the reason for restructuring in the past dynasties is because the general trend has forced it to be so.

Just after the printing of the entire Gewuyuan officially started.

He suppressed the fear in his heart and some of the excitement in his chest, and carefully held the paper in his hand.

If you cut the weed but not the root, there will be a backlash!

Song Shen arrived in a hurry and said, "Mr. Hu, Su Xian went to the Gurwuyuan yesterday, and it seems that he is about to send out a new express report on the Gurwu."

"There's still a process in between."

Do not!
There is only one place.

Hu Weiyong raised his head. Now in the country, he was in the limelight.

But today's officialdom does not meet this condition, because one family is the only one.

……

only……

As he spoke, he sneered, he wished he could.

Not to mention that the Ming Dynasty has just been founded, but this old system that has been accumulated for thousands of years can be easily changed?
Also, even if it needs to be changed, where should it be changed? How can we be sure that the above problems will not happen again?
Huang Ke couldn't find the answer.

"What else does he want to use the Gewu Express? To vent the injustices suffered by his family, and to say that he is being persecuted, openly or secretly, to say that the Holy One is stupid?"

But restructuring in history has been very successful.

Before that, whether it is among the people or the officialdom, there is a need for an ideological confrontation that truly touches the soul!

Either the restructuring succeeds or the restructuring fails.

"Prime Minister, none of them. The Gewu Express is divided into four pages, but this time it is about iron-making technology, casting iron swords, finding the Qin Tianjian, and...the taxation of the four peoples?"

"Oh?" Hu Weiyong was confused. This was different from what he thought.

"Didn't he mention his father's injustice?"

"Su Guiyuan is not wronged!" Song Shen said firmly: "It's just because of insufficient evidence. Those witnesses wanted to receive rewards from the country and gave false testimony themselves, so that Su Xian found a loophole and rescued Su Guiyuan."

"However, as long as we find evidence that he actually took out the printing plate, even killed Jin Jinglun, or even had evil intentions, the Holy Emperor will not be biased towards Su Xian."

Song Shen's words surprised Hu Weiyong.

After all, in the eyes of the entire country, the Holy One's suggestion that Su Guiyuan should be shut up to reflect on his mistakes and that he should be dismissed from his post was actually a clear indication... that Su Guiyuan had been separated from the case.

But Song Shen was "upright".

"You have an upright personality, and you can't bear to see this kind of chaos that goes against the law but still comes out of it. The truth is really gratifying." Hu Weiyong praised: "But if this case is not a heinous crime, don't change the holy will."

Song Shen knew what Xiang Hu was thinking, and he nodded quickly, "But I don't know who sent me the letter last time. It would be better if he sends me another letter."

Hu Weiyong nodded.

"This is also a clue. Just wait. After all, the country has just been founded. There are monsters and monsters everywhere. Even this capital is a mixed bag. The truth is that I was entrusted by the Holy One to support the affairs of the court alone. As a helper, you must also Do your best.”

"Yes!"

Hu Weiyong nodded again, and suddenly thought of something: "Has Wei Guogong already set off from Peiping?"

"I heard that he left for Beijing a few days ago. After all, King Yan is about to surrender."

"Okay..." Hu Weiyong said with a smile: "Wei Guogong has been in Peiping for many years. I don't know if he is still a good general who I knew before and who is loyal to the country."

"Alas! People's hearts are fickle. Ever since the defeat last time, I'm afraid Wei Guogong has also been grudged and will inevitably have other thoughts."

As he spoke, Hu Weiyong suddenly looked at Song Shen, "Liu Lian was found in the printing plate case, and he died in fear of crime. I remember that in addition to having a good relationship with your grandfather, Liu Bowen also seemed to have a good relationship with Wei Guogong, right?"

"Prime Minister, my grandfather and Liu Bowen were good friends, and they were friends with Liu Lian because of his father's kindness. Liu Lian went crazy and colluded with anyone in the government and the public. But this matter has nothing to do with my grandfather. He only knows Study and educate people.”

Song Shen hurriedly distanced himself from the relationship. He didn't know how many similar words he said during these days.

I wholeheartedly work for Zhongshu Province and the Holy Master.

For the sake of my grandfather and the Song family, I have devoted all my efforts. If it weren't for me, my grandfather would definitely be involved in Liu Lian's case!

But according to Hu Xiang’s intention, it still needs to be involved... Hiss!

He was excited and horrified.

Sure enough, Hu Weiyong continued: "The truth didn't tell you, the truth said..."

Song Shen breathed a sigh of relief first and said quickly: "Prime Minister Hu, this matter is of great importance. If there is no evidence, you must not get involved too much!"

Hu Weiyong's eyes narrowed.

As expected, he was ignorant and still an idiot.

However, it is also a good thing.

He looked at Song Shen. The latter thought he was loyal to the law, but he wanted to take care of his personal affairs. He had obviously surrendered to him, but he still couldn't concentrate...

"That's all! Then let the Third Division continue to investigate and don't let go of any clues."

"It's you. Since those people chose you last time, you have to pay close attention. Maybe the next reminder letter will come again."

Song Shen quickly said: "Yes!"

However, seeing that Hu Xiangquan was discussing the printing plate case and didn't ask much about the Gewu Express, he couldn't help but wonder: "The Gewu Express..."

"Since he doesn't cry out for his father, the things in the bulletin are just side issues and don't need attention." Although Hu Weiyong said this, he thought of the "Salt Introduction" last time.

"That's all, you go ahead and get the more detailed content."

Based on the uproar caused by the first Gewu Express, it was easy to bribe only a few craftsmen in the Gewu Courtyard.

And the content of each express he sends actually comes into his sight long before it is sent to the public. After all, the court will not allow "accidents" that cannot be controlled.

The Holy Spirit won’t allow it either!

"Yes!" Song Shen agreed hastily.

It wasn't until the afternoon that he came back in a hurry.

He looked anxious, "Prime Minister Hu, this "Four People's Taxation" is so bold!"

As he spoke, he quickly opened the tabloid he was copying and placed it in front of Hu Weiyong.

Hu Weiyong only glanced at it for a few times, then his pupils shrank and he fell into thinking.

aside.

Song Shen's mind was in great turmoil. This content was too shocking.

Just one sentence in it - to prevent officials and gentry from not receiving food.

It made his soul tremble.

Does Su Xian know what he is talking about?

When this dispatch is sent out, it’s not just Hu Xiang who will be offended!
But this entire country.

Even Your Majesty has to be cautious when formulating the taxation of the country.

In order to quickly stabilize the world, the Holy Emperor and even the old ministers of Yuanting and officials from many places pinched their noses and recognized him.

But Su Xian's report came out quickly.

Not to mention that not long ago, this family just escaped from danger.

Let's just say that even in the past when the Holy Family was strong, no one could protect him.

The words above are shaking the foundation of the country, confusing people's hearts, and causing chaos in the world!
"Okay! Haha... this is really good!"

now.

Hu Weiyong finally finished reading everything, his eyes became cold and stern, and then he sneered again.

"Prime Minister Hu, why don't we call upon the Holy One to stop the printing and issuance of Gewuyuan immediately!"

Su Xian wants to use the Gewuyuan to shock the country?
All I can say is...dream!
"Salt Introduction" was an accident, but the current Ming Dynasty will never allow more accidents.

"Tsk tsk!"

"This is not a shocking statement. You want to go against the entire Yuanting old officials, and even the soldiers and gentry from the southeast in the past?"

"In today's Qingming Dynasty, who dares to say that scholars, farmers, industry and merchants are the next three people who support the first people?"

now.

Hu Weiyong did not answer Song Shen's words.

Instead, he continued to marvel.

"If you look at...the truth, you will know that this kid is determined not to give up. Now he is completely broken?"

"You even want to get involved in business taxation? Could it be that the last Shiobei gave him confidence?"

"Ha! No wonder I mentioned the People's Liberation Army and the People's Liberation Army in the main hall before. This is borrowing money from wealthy people... to interfere with our country's tax revenue!"

"The essence is to see clearly and drive the power of all people..."

"Since it's all about the power of the people, does he also want to use it?"

The more Hu Weiyong talked, the more interested he became.

Song Shen was on the side and shouted again: "Prime Minister, you must not let this letter be sent out, otherwise the country will be in turmoil!"

He said urgently again: "Your Majesty, we must start immediately."

"What's going on?"

Unexpectedly, Hu Weiyong looked at Song Shen.

The latter was speechless for a while.

But Hu Weiyong said again: "Why do you want to start the memorial? Gewuyuan was originally established by the Holy One for the emperor's eldest grandson. If you and I report this news to your majesty, what will your majesty think? Could it be that the prime minister of a country has already monitored the eldest grandson in advance?" "

As soon as these words came out, Song Shen was shocked.

He quickly said: "But..."

"Besides, why should the truth be revealed?" Hu Weiyong looked at Song Shen coldly.

"Didn't you say this morning that you couldn't stand His Majesty's deliberate favoritism? Now, he is seeking death. How can he not make way for his true nature?"

"Let him send it!"

As he spoke, Hu Weiyong slowly stood up.

In my mind, I was thinking about other things!
But what he said made Song Shen feel more and more frightened, and he didn't even dare to think about the future anymore.

"Taxation is the foundation of a country, and scholars, farmers, industry and commerce have been the cornerstone for thousands of years!"

"This son has relied on the big tree of the emperor's eldest grandson to do whatever he wants. Now, it's time to repay everything."

As he spoke, he looked at Song Shen, his tone was gloomy, but his words were cold and terrifying.

"This theory originated from Gewuyuan. To the common people and even the entire court, Gewuyuan was the place built by the emperor for the emperor's eldest grandson."

"This theory suggests that either it was a child who deceived the public with his evil words and deceived the king. Or it was... the emperor's eldest grandson."

"Ugh!"

Hu Weiyong seemed to have a worried look on his face, but he couldn't get rid of the smile in the corners of his eyes.

All the while, he wasn't worried about the present, but about the future reckoning.

Fortunately for His Highness the Crown Prince, the eldest grandson of the Emperor is young, but he can remember things at this age. It is inevitable that he will have resentment early on because of his actions against the Su family.

Now, Su Xian is the one who is smart!

"The emperor's eldest grandson is still young, but a demonic seed has been planted in his heart. If he grows up and ascends the throne one day, he will carry out this perverse method again!"

"Tell me, what does the court think? What do the people think?"

Hear this.

Song Shen finally knew what Hu Xiang was talking about.

His mind became more and more frightening.

But he saw that Hu Weiyong had already said: "His Majesty once said that the heir apparent must be the crown prince! But the crown prince must also be virtuous and wise, otherwise, if a big trouble is planted early, the people's hearts will be turbulent..."

When Hu Weiyong said this, his voice stopped abruptly.

There was only one pair of eyes, looking at Song Shen coldly.

His voice sounded again, "Let him send it!"

"Not only must it be released, but the truth must also be supported."

"The harm involved..."

Hu Weiyong waved his hand and his voice became more and more fierce.

"Preach it to everyone in the world!"

Song Shen's heart trembled.

I just feel that the whirlpool that has suddenly rolled up in the country has become bigger and bigger recently.

The Su family was originally involved, but they also wanted to be the promoter of this whirlpool.

So is Hu Xiang.

So much so that now, if you don't pay attention, it has swept over and seems to be touching the untouchable reverse scale of the country!

What do you think, Your Majesty?
Those who deceive the public with their monstrous words will definitely be beheaded and the Gokuyuan will be closed down!

But even so, this storm is bound to spread to the hearts of every Ming people, no matter what they think, as long as this idea spreads.

It will have a huge blow to the future of the nominal owner of the Gewuyuan, the emperor's grandson Zhu Xiongying!
After all, it is the power that drives all nations! Put an end to the gentry not being able to pay for their food! The next three people support the first people. Who dares to say such a thing?
Can he still be qualified to serve as the third generation prince of the country?

Thinking like this, he couldn't help but feel horrified in his heart. Once upon a time, how could he dare to think that he could participate in such a secret battle?

He was a little scared, but more excited.

This secret, treacherous struggle is bound to sweep the entire country into turmoil.

Then as the Prime Minister said...

February is here as promised!

The Gewu Express was sent to the public as soon as possible.

For a moment, the capital was shaken and the world was shocked!
