back to ancient times to be emperor

Chapter 730

Fang La thought to herself that instigating the hungry people was just holding a hoe and carrying a pole to make things happen. The imperial court focused on taking care of them, and it didn't take long for them to disappear.But these merchants and big landlords are different, they can be regarded as a class of the imperial court.Even they are opposed to the imperial court's new policy, and it is difficult for the imperial court to strike hard.Although he was complimented by everyone and asked him to be the person in charge, he didn't want to expose himself so quickly.So it was fine for him to use it in his heart, but he pushed the big landlord and became the person in charge, preparing to gather a crowd to make trouble.

The people of Ludi have always been tough, and it is far from the hometown of etiquette that people yearn for.In fact, this is all because of Confucius, who said that you should repay kindness with kindness and repay grievance with straightness.The people in Ludi are straightforward and have clear grievances and grievances.Just like the Liangshan hero in "Water Margin", he is jealous of evil.In the official history, the Northern Song Dynasty was subjugated, and the entire Central Plains fell into the hands of the Kingdom of Jin. Only the land of Lu had been fighting fiercely, causing the Kingdom of Jin to be devastated.

But it is precisely because of this that the people of Ludi are more likely to be deceived.Fortunately, during the Taiping period, the common people would not rebel if they had a bite to eat.But in some special years, this may not be the case.Fang La also had his sights set on this, and was about to go all out on Shandong East Road, but unexpectedly, the imperial court took the lead, which made him very depressed.

At this time, the big landlord who was pushed to be the person in charge said: "Thanks to the praise from all of you, I have become the person in charge. It's just that I have little talent and knowledge, and it's an embarrassing task. I still need to discuss things with you brothers. I don't dare to do it without authorization." Decision. Today I am going to petition the imperial court, I don’t know what advice you guys have for me?”

The landlord's surname is Lin, and his ancestors were officials.After he became an official, he bought dozens of acres of land and passed it down.Later, it got bigger and bigger, and became a big landlord in Qingzhou.

As soon as he finished speaking, a person got up and said, "I have an idea. I want to say that the Kong family has the most property in Qilu. Why don't I unite with the Kong family and petition the court? With the status of the Kong family, the court will Why should it be taken seriously?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone agreed.In China, there are only two long-lasting families that can be called real millennium families.Everyone in the world says "Zhang in the south and Confucius in the north". posterity.However, except for the ancestor Kong Qiu, the Confucian family has few famous figures, and it can be considered that under the aura of Confucius, everyone is dimmed.

The reverence of the Confucian family has lasted for a long time.Even if it is not the imperial court that emphasizes literature, they still have to win over them.They can also do things. Every time the dynasty changes, they will destroy the iron certificate of the previous generation's Dan Shu, and welcome the new dynasty with a new attitude, expressing their approval of his rule.Therefore, the existence of the Confucian family is a political need. The imperial court can gain the "orthodox" status if they win over them, which is the same as passing on the jade seal of the country.

These people want to coerce the Kong family and threaten the imperial court. It is also audacious, but it is indeed a good plan.The Kong family's property is more than a thousand hectares?The imperial court's new policy dealt a huge blow to the Kong family, and all the tenants ran away.People are thinking about their own interests, after all, if people are not for themselves, they will be destroyed by heaven and earth!No matter how good the land is, it belongs to others, not to oneself.After working so hard to grow food, they still have to pay rent.These tenants don't care what the background of the Kong family is. If I move my family, can you still stop me?

No, one left and two left, which immediately caused a huge effect, and almost half of the tenants ran away.The rest are the ones left by the Kong family who say whatever they want.But when the hearts of the people are scattered, it is difficult to lead the team.The Kong family only charged [-]% of the rent, and they didn't have to pay taxes, so they stayed reluctantly.It can be said that the New Deal has dealt a great blow to the Kong family. If it hadn't been for a thousand years of foundation, the Kong family might not be able to sustain it.

The Kong family couldn't hold on anymore, so what did the rest of the small landlords say?
So those present immediately understood and applauded.Fang La was also secretly startled, this Landlord Lin did not seem to be an idiot!He wanted to be a behind-the-scenes conductor, but it seemed a bit difficult.It's okay to say that it didn't work out, but if it's going to happen, wouldn't it be that he gave up the fruits of "victory"?

Fang La's face was very exciting, and she was already plotting against her little Jiujiu.The rest of the people continued to discuss how to kidnap the Kong family on their own boat, talking about it with great joy.Some people even suggested that if some locusts were caught in other places and brought back to form an "artificial locust plague", in this way, food prices could be raised.After all, food can be stored for several years, so as long as you seize the opportunity, you can still sell it at a good price.

There are still people responding to this utterly devoid of conscience.After all, there were quite a few grain merchants present, and they might have already made preparations with such thoughts in mind.

Of course, locusts are not easy to catch, one or two is okay, but tens of thousands are hard to catch.There are only a few thousand in that area, which is not enough for the poultry raised by farmers.Good idea, but unfortunately not practical.

Everyone was talking more and more excitedly, someone had already proposed that they go to Qufu tomorrow, visit the Kong family, and discuss how to advance and retreat together.Fang La came to his senses, and quickly said: "How could the Kong family offend the imperial court for this matter? Just tell the imperial court, and Huangzhuang can buy their property at a price. It's just difficult when I have no power or power. Kong If the family dares to blackmail the imperial court with this, I am afraid that the Kong family will not be able to enjoy the glory and wealth again."

Everyone thought, it seems to be the same reason.Fang La saw that everyone was moved, and then added fuel and jealousy: "Besides, you are going to Qufu, are you not giving the court an excuse to say that the Kong family formed a party for personal gain and blackmailed the court? The court only severely punished the Kong family, and you are probably going to be in trouble..."

Everyone was surprised, it seemed that this was the reason.In fact, Fang La was afraid that they would rashly reveal the details of his Maitreya Sect, which would attract the attention of the court.Initiating an incident in the name of merchants and landlords can clear oneself away.If they threatened the imperial court together with the Kong family, maybe this Shandong East Road would be full of inspectors within a month.Fang La has already learned how powerful the inspectors are.Being targeted by the supervisory department means that the time for the imperial court to cleanse Mingjiao is not far away.Fang La felt that Mingjiao was still too weak at this time, and didn't want to expose it prematurely.But he was eager to consume Dashun's strength. After all, Dashun's national power was weak, so he could take advantage of it.

These merchants and landlords only cared about money, and after thinking about it for a long time, they said, "Then what should we do according to Brother Fang?"

Seeing them fall into the hub, Fang La said softly: "As we said earlier, you lead your servants to the yamen to appeal for grievances. I also lead people to wave the flag behind and shout. Even the yamen dare not lay hands on so many people Right?" Fang La turned the grievance into a riot with the idea of ​​"the law does not blame the public".In this way, some foolish men and women might be involved.Chen Sheng and Wu Guang at the end of Qin Dynasty, isn't it the same?
And the cleverness of this plan is that it can get rid of the Mingjiao and take the opportunity to consume the power of the imperial court, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

Fang La was afraid that everyone would veto this proposal, but the big landlord Lin said: "Brother Fang is right, we will fight for it, and we should be able to listen to it..."

I really want to fall asleep. Someone brought me a pillow, Fang La was overjoyed: "Then Lao Lin is the only one who is responsible for this matter!"

"Where righteousness lies, so-and-so does not say goodbye!"
