There is a small temple in the west of Lin'an City and the green scenery on the south bank of West Lake. The incense of this temple is not very good, but it is quite elegant. This small temple is surrounded by a stream leading to West Lake, surrounded by bamboo forests and weeping willows. It was mid-spring, with warm climate, weeping willows and green bamboo forests. This small temple also has exquisite entrances. Although the scene is not big, every tree and stone and the small courtyard in the temple are obviously spent on a lot of thought. You can tell at a glance that this place is not a place to burn incense and worship Buddha for ordinary people, but a temple that specializes in business of wealthy families.

The Emperor of the Zhao family was originally good at Taoism. In the Northern Song Dynasty, there was a Taoist emperor, Emperor Huizong of Song. However, Taoism did not have the ability to protect the stability of the Song Dynasty. Therefore, the emperors after the southward transitioned to Buddhism were more respectful to Buddhism, and the Buddhist family gradually flourished. Looking at the famous temples around Lin'an, you will know that Buddhism was flourishing.

In addition to doing Buddhist rituals for wealthy families, this kind of fine and elegant temple also has another function, which is the site of some officials in Lin'an. It is not easy to live in Lin'an. Lin'an is the most prosperous place in the world in the 13th century, and naturally it is also the place with the highest housing prices. Even if the Song Dynasty treated all officials well and raised officials with high salaries, there were not many officials with financial resources to purchase houses in Lin'an. Moreover, there were many redundant officials in the Southern Song Dynasty, and Lin'an City was small and crowded, so the court naturally did not have the financial resources to provide housing for every official in charge.

Moreover, many officials only stayed in the court for a while and would not be officials all the time. This is a yamen official who has not been able to be a Beijing official (referring to being an official in Lin'an), so why should you spend a lot of money to buy a mansion?

However, being an official, especially those who are of a rank but are not qualified to let the court divide the houses, is not very good for renting a house in Lin'an. How can you be close to the people in the market? The noble residential areas in Lin'an are all homes for noble families and nobles. These people are not short of money, so they will not rent a house.

Therefore, this business was taken away by many temples and Taoist temples.

Some local officials who come to visit the Hajj are generally unwilling to live in crowded inns as long as they have no houses in Lin'an. They would rather spend a few dollars to rent in temples and temples around them.

Today, it seems that the new temple was living in the Grand Official. On the road not far outside the temple, listening to a long list of chariots and horses, and the warriors with distinctive armor. Looking at the banners these military generals were as if they were the imperial guards on duty at the prince's house. The temple also provided wine and food, and they sat on the ground in the warm spring breeze of mid-spring, eating and drinking with juice, which was a bit like a picnic.

It seems that the person who visited today was a prince of the Song Dynasty, but he did not know who was living in the temple.

There were not many people sitting in the temple. There were two elderly scholars in the middle, all wearing soft hats and flattering clothes, which were both refreshing and chic. One of them was in his sixties, but he was energetic, rosy in his face, and mostly black hair. At first glance, he was a person who had been up and down in the officialdom for many years and finally had great ambitions. It was Jiang Wanli, the ambassador of the Jiangnan West Road Pacification and Training Ambassador of Jiangnan West Road, who came to the emperor to meet the emperor.

One is in his fifties, white, fat and graceful. He has a noble temperament that he has developed for many years between chatting and laughing, and he looks like an unattainable person. It is the father of Zhao Feng, the current official Zhao Yurui, His Highness King Rong.

As a foreign minister with 80,000 heavy troops, Jiang Wanli took the opportunity to enter the court to meet the prince. If this matter is to be put before the regiment is trained, he must be impeached and stepped down.

But in this world, who is not a member of the regiment training army in his hands? It is almost the same as Fang Shuai of the Five Dynasties. Who dares to impeach them? And it is useless to impeach them. Jiang Wanli really wants to resign. Will the court dare to agree? He is about to step down. No one can command the 80,000 regiment training army on Jiangnan West Road! If they surrender to Chen Dexing, the Song Dynasty will immediately have to be closed and Zhang Daji.

In addition to these two, the two were accompanied by Lin'an famous scholar Deng Qiuzhong and Taipingzhou regiment Zhou Zhenyan, and a commander of the Ministry of War, Su Liuyi. The three of them were not wearing official uniforms, and were dressed as scholars. They gently waved paper fans, which was a bit romantic and dashing.

However, the three romantic talents said every word, but they were not romantic at all.

"If something happens today, it seems that the north is strong and the south is weak, but Chen thief has taken a chess move!" Deng Qiuzhong shook the paper fan and said jokingly, "This chess is "Chen Li".

"Yes! As soon as "Chen Li" was released, it was an enemy of all the scholars all over the world!" Su Liuyi nodded and took over the topic.

He, Deng Qiuzhong, Zhou Zhenyan, Chen Yizhong, Huang Yong and Lu Xiufu, and other six people often meet and publish articles in famous tabloids in Lin'an, giving advice on the country, and writing passionately. They are now called the Six Gentlemen of Xianchun behind their backs.

Su Liuyi paused and said, "Although Chen thief has always despised scholars and valued martial artists. However, if Chen Li is not published, those are just Chen thief's personal likes and dislikes, and may not be able to change courses. With the current trend of the north and south, Chen thief only needs to hold an imperial examination to win the hearts of scholars all over the world. However, once Chen Li is published, he will no longer be able to get the hearts of scholars."

Jiang Wanli and Zhao and Rui both nodded in agreement. They were both scholars, so they naturally knew what "ritual" was. "ritual" was sacred. Zhou Li was the "convocation" of the Zhou emperor and the princes, officials, and the people of the country. Chen Li was the "convocation" of Chen Dexing and all the Chinese people. The sacred nature of "ritual" must be based on the emperor taking the lead in keeping the etiquette.

If Chen Dexing takes the lead in disobeying etiquette and offers various discounts to win over scholars and allow them to enjoy the same treatment as jesters and gentry, then Chen Li will be as broken as Zhou Li and will have no sacredness since then.

To a certain extent, Chen Li is actually a constitution, but it is managed broadly, involving many aspects such as religion, culture, family, etc. The sacredness of later constitutions also needs to be carefully maintained by lawmakers. In a country ruled by law, lawmakers must not take the lead in trampling on the dignity of the constitution, or at least they cannot publicly trample on it.

Before Chen Dexing made the "Chen Li", "ritual" was a sacred thing in the minds of Chinese people, especially Chinese intellectuals. "Re-ritual" was an ideal that the scholar-official class had spoken for thousands of years.

Such an atmosphere is very beneficial for "Chen Li" to achieve sacredness and become the "constitution" of the Chinese nation. Unless Chen Dexing himself regards "Chen Li" as a piece of paper for rubbing his butt and throws it away after using it...

In the currently published "Chen Li", the literati class was very suppressed. Their social status was equal to that of farmers, industry and commerce, and was lower than that of nobles and gentry, and had no privileges.

In addition, "Chen Li" also stipulates the principle of "Han is not a slave". Any Han people, as long as they do not commit crimes and let the government office arrest and sentence them, are free people. They cannot be slaves or serfs. This is equivalent to depriving the wealthy families of Jiangnan literati over the tenants. This is actually a property! Tenants in the late Southern Song Dynasty had become serfs and were property that could be bought and sold with the land. However, "Chen Li" made them free, which was equivalent to liberating the serfs of the Southern Song Dynasty, without any compensation!

Once the Ming Dynasty ruled Jiangnan, "Chen Li" was implemented in Jiangnan. Those tenants who became free people would definitely flee from Jiangnan. Now it is not the 19th century with a large population and a small land, but the 13th century with a small population and a large land. It does not mean what the continent is like, but there are lands in Jianghu, Jinghu, Sichuan, Central Plains, and Northeast China. There is no land for people to grow. With such a good place, who would stay in Jiangnan and be cruelly exploited by the literati and the landlords?

If the large number of poor and lower-middle peasants in Jiangnan left, the land rent would inevitably drop significantly. The income of wealthy families in Jiangnan would immediately decrease greatly... In fact, those "Yimen" were not very rich because they had a large population, and every family had a bunch of scholars who could only study and not do practical things. Their income mainly relies on land rent. Under "Chen Li", scholars' opportunities to become officials were greatly reduced, and the income of land rent would drop significantly. These "Yimen's families" were probably facing bankruptcy.

Therefore, as soon as "Chen Li" was released, the scholar-official families in Jiangnan had no room for compromise!

...

When Zhao Yurui heard Su Liuyi talk about the hearts of scholars, he sighed: "People's hearts and people's hearts. Since Taizu gained the country, he has been kind to the scholars and officials. When will he not win the hearts of the people? But now Chen thief has two parts of the world! This wins the hearts of the people may not lose the world, right?"

The top scholar Zhou Zhenyan smiled and explained the confused father of the confused emperor: "People's hearts are unpredictable. Before the promulgation of "Chen Li", people's hearts may not be in the Song Dynasty... Although the Chen thief rebelled, they will eventually have the merit of restoring the Central Plains and chasing the barbarians. If they follow the heavens and respond to the people and treat the scholars with courtesy, they may not be able to have the world!"

This is what Zhao Yurui frowned, but he dared not say anything. Zhou Zhenyan has been a slut for many years and has become seriously ill and almost lost his life. He has a grudge against the Zhao family in his stomach. And he now has 4,000 gang training! Nowadays, he has thousands of gang training, which is better than the emperor's father!

Zhou Zhenyan said jokingly: "Now the Chen thief has lost the hearts of the people, and the Song Dynasty has adopted the law of discussing politics in schools, which is to truly share the world with the scholars and officials. Therefore, scholars in the world will definitely do their best to assist the Song Dynasty... Although the Song Dynasty is inevitably in trouble, as long as it lasts for a long time, the world will still be the Song Dynasty."

“Long-lasting toughness?”
