Ming politicians

() Su Tiancheng didn't want to make matters worse, Lan Qiaozheng's words, and Wang Dazhi's actions did not conform to his original intention.

Playboys will always exist, even after hundreds of years. These people live in a superior environment and don't know the sufferings of the people. They are loved by their families and are lawless. Even if they do something wrong, it doesn't matter. People, being ruthless by everyone, no matter how severely they are punished, it is not too much.

But there is one biggest problem here, and that is the problem of position.

Su Tiancheng is already the magistrate of Jiangning County, a typical scholar-bureaucrat class, no matter whether he admits it or not, others will see it this way, if there is a hatred of the rich in his attitude towards the gentry and wealthy households, it is like hundreds of years After that, the idea and practice of the angry youth, this is a big problem.

The people who rallied around Su Tiancheng and the people he relied on basically belonged to the scholar-bureaucrat class, even if not now, they will be in the future. For example, Su Pingyang was only a servant of the Su family before, but he could be appointed by the court as a After Jiangning County Canon History, the identity also changed.

The rogues were opposed to the class of the scholar-bureaucrats, at least when they raised their flags to rebel, they had such an understanding. They hated the gentry and wealthy households, and mercilessly divided up the property of the scholar-bureaucrats. Their views were clear.

It's hard to say what's right or wrong here.

Su Tiancheng's point of view is that people are born unequal. If you think about letting scholar-bureaucrats live the life of farmers, people will probably think that you are crazy.

There are many people watching the excitement around.How to deal with this matter.It's time to test Su Tiancheng's wisdom.

Looking at the people around him, Su Tiancheng walked up to the rich young man and helped him up himself.

There was a trace of fear in the rich young man's eyes, but more anger and hatred.

Su Tiancheng spoke to Wang Dazhi first.

"Dazhi, don't be so reckless in the future."

Wang Dazhi lowered his head and did not speak, probably because he was not convinced.

The rich young man's body trembled.He thought that when Su Tiancheng opened his mouth, he must be reprimanding him, but he didn't expect this to be the case.

"My lord, I haven't seen you before. You must have come to Jiangning County from other places. You are welcome to participate in the Lantern Festival celebration in Jiangning County. However, there are some problems with your behavior."

"I look at your appearance, you should be a scholar. The family must also be a family. The Lantern Festival celebration in Jiangning County has a lot of people. Many scholars and gentry and rich families have come. The more this is the case, The more you have to pay attention to your own words and deeds. I am ashamed of you for doing such a thing in public. "

"If your parents know about such things, I'm afraid they will feel ashamed."

"Let's talk about today's incident. Your subordinates beat someone. You go to uncover the girl's veil. The officer can hold you accountable, and even put you in prison. No matter what your status is, when you arrive When Jiangning County is here, you have to abide by the rules here. Fortunately, I met you today and stopped it in time. If something big happens, no one will be able to save you."

"Okay, since you are the first offender, I won't pursue it."

While Su Tiancheng was speaking, the people around him had gradually dispersed. They originally came here with the intention of watching the excitement. Hearing what Su Tiancheng said, they knew that there was nothing exciting to watch. After all, guessing riddles is important. If you win, you will still have money.

Leaving the stunned rich young man behind, Su Tiancheng walked towards other places.

Lan Qiaozheng behind him couldn't help but speak.

"My lord is really amazing, I admire you."

Su Tiancheng looked at Lan Qiao and smiled wryly, unable to explain.

"Master Su, it's been a long time."

Su Tiancheng's body trembled slightly, he was too familiar with this voice.

"It turned out to be Mr. Liu Zongzhou. I don't know. This is Lord Lanqiao. He just arrived in Jiangning County."

"My next official, Bo Lanqiao, the head of Jiangning County, is paying my respects to Mr. Liu."

In Lan Qiaozheng's eyes, a gleam immediately appeared. Unexpectedly, he saw the famous Liu Zongzhou here.

"Master Lan, you are being polite. The old man just saw Master Su's demeanor, and he was very moved."

"Don't dare, I don't know that your lord is here."

There was a smile on Liu Zongzhou's face. He had been paying attention to what happened just now. The behavior of the rich man was indeed problematic. Su Tiancheng could deal with it or not.

After arguing with Su Tiancheng, Liu Zongzhou felt that Su Tiancheng's understanding was pretty good, especially the letter written by Huang Daozhou, he had read it carefully, and the story Su Tiancheng told in it made him enlightened After thinking about the idea of ​​empowerment, he made up his mind to come to Jiangning County and join the Zhongxing Academy.

However, Su Tiancheng's attitude towards wealthy gentry and wealthy households is consistent with certain thoughts of rogues. Could it be that Su Tiancheng wanted to trouble the gentry, or was he the same as Wei Zhongxian before? Inner question.

Liu Zongzhou was well aware of the Lantern Festival celebrations in Jiangning County. On the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, he arrived in Jiangning County and wandered around alone without disturbing the crowd. It was also a coincidence that he saw that scene just now.

Su Tiancheng's attitude towards the rich son dispelled his last doubts.

Su Tiancheng has no fundamental prejudice against literati, and he still recognizes the hierarchy system. As for asking gentry and wealthy households to make contributions and pay taxes, it is also for the imperial court. Many officials in the imperial court also have this understanding. In fact, Liu Zongzhou himself I agree with such an approach. Look at many wealthy gentry households who are so rich that farmers are struggling on the verge of death.

"Master Su, Lord Lan, this old man has arrived in Jiangning County this time, and he is not going to leave. I don't know if the Zhongxing Academy can accommodate it."

"Master Liu came to the Zhongxing Academy, what he wished for. Now, Lord Lan is in charge of the affairs of the Zhongxing Academy. I'd like to say a few more words. The family members of Lord Sun, Lord Lu, and Lord Huang have all been sent to Jiangning County. Yes, Master Liu should do the same, the treatment is the same, if you have no objection, I will arrange for the soldiers of the Jiangning Camp to go to your hometown to pick up your family, what do you think."

"This is not good, the imperial court has regulations."

"Why not, let's say that Lord Sun and Lord Lu's family members came to Jiangning County together. It was the emperor's permission. There must be someone to take care of you."

After Su Tiancheng finished speaking, it happened that it was not easy for Lan Qiao to find an opportunity.

"Master Su has already made the arrangements, so please don't refuse, Mr. Liu. I'm still thinking about asking Mr. Liu for advice."

"Hehe, this old man also knows about Master Lan's talent. The poems are really good. If he has a chance, I will ask Master Lan for advice."

That night, the Zhongxing Institute was busy opening. Lan Qiaozheng and Liu Yunqing directed the crowd to vacate a special courtyard. The Jiangning County School has a total of six separate courtyards. They used to arrange for their husbands to live. Lu Shanji and Huang Daozhou each occupied a courtyard, and after Liu Zongzhou moved in, there were still two courtyards left.

As for the teaching task of the county school, Sun Chengzong and others took the initiative to undertake it.

Being able to be taught by such a famous person, the county school was full of people for a while. According to the rules, the county school could teach students at most, but the situation of Jiangning county school was different, and even some people came here to sign up for classes.

Now, Liu Zongzhou has also joined Zhongxing Academy, which makes the academy even more famous.

On the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, Su Tiancheng arrived at Zhongxing Academy early in the morning.

In Jingsi Hall, Liu Zongzhou was greeting Sun Chengzong, Lu Shanji, Huang Daozhou and others, while Lan Qiaozheng, Liu Yunqing and others were listening respectfully.

The main task of Su Tiancheng coming here is to see if the accommodation and other things have been implemented.

After Liu Zongzhou greeted Su Tiancheng with a smile, he asked a very crucial question.

"Lord Su, this old man has been thinking about one thing. The gentry and wealthy households are indeed supposed to bear the tax, but what kind of scale should there be in it?"

"Lord Liu is a good question. I'm about to talk about this matter. For example, in Jiangning County, the Municipal Bureau of Taxation has a clear attitude and a ruler to the end. , the taxes are the same. I have always believed that taxes must be affordable by individuals. Whether it is a gentry or a wealthy household or an ordinary person, I do not agree with the practice of increasing taxes on the gentry and wealthy households and blindly protecting ordinary people. It is said that ordinary people can’t bear it, and it can be reduced or exempted, after all, the conditions of the two sides are different.”

"As for the favors that the gentry and wealthy households should enjoy, they have earned them through hard work. It is not easy to get these favors after studying hard for several years. I have never thought about it. It is also hard work for me to deduct these favors." What you read out, don’t do to others what you don’t want.”

Liu Zongzhou listened very carefully. After Su Tiancheng finished speaking, he clapped his hands and laughed.

"Okay, okay, I understand what Master Su means. This is also a kind of cautiousness. The status of a scholar-bureaucrat and a wealthy household are different. They should take the lead. As Master Su said, some gentlemen and wealthy households are unwilling to Shendu, what should we do? We must force them to be cautious. Well, the old man finally understands that the concept advocated by the Zhongxing Academy is not simple. arrive."

Su Tiancheng smiled and did not speak. When Liu Zongzhou said this, he had completely supported the views of the Zhongxing Academy, that is, he supported the ideas he put forward. This is a great gain. The small sees the big. A great Confucian with rich thoughts, he can support the concept of Zhongxing Academy, which has a great influence on other scholars.
