Chapter 107 Innovation (4)
In this era, it is simple and not easy to carry out large-scale, large-scale and large-scale innovation.
Simply, compared to later generations, people have very open minds and no ancestors can follow the law. The more they are rebellious, the more popular they are, the more they are. The power of the so-called conservatives is so weak that they can be ignored.
This saves a lot of argumentation, disputes and quarrels, and can concentrate on the innovation and directly implement the reform into practical actions.
It's not simple, because innovation will inevitably touch the reverse scale of the vested interest class, which is something that cannot be avoided in any era.
Therefore, compared with Wang Anshi, Zhang Juzheng and others later, Xu You is happy.
But no matter whether it is state affairs, family affairs or men and women, the feeling of happiness is always so trembling, short and unpredictable!
Xu You went to court on the day, and it was snowing heavily. The Suzaku Imperial Path outside the Grand Sima Gate was full of dense court officials.
Yu Shi, who had not shown up for a long time, braved the cold and knelt in front of everyone. On the left was Liu Quan, Yuan Can, more than a dozen second-rank and third-rank officials below, and on the right were officials from the three provinces and six ministries. Almost two-thirds of the sixth-rank officials in Beijing came, and the remaining one-third were Xu You's loyal fans and a firm supporter of the new tax law.
Zhang Ji, Gu Huaiming, Gu Yun, Yuan Jie and others did not appear, but many children from the surnames also came.
This clearly shows dissatisfaction with Xu You's implementation of the new law.
The sound of wailing, cursing, roaring, and sounds in my ears!
"A scholar is so kind that he is so kind that he is so ashamed of talking about the bad things..."
"The treacherous and treacherous are in power, and the cruel officials are rampant. We are now asking for death..."
"For many generations, my head was buried because of my slaughter, my halberd was long, and I bowed my knees for labor service..."
"It's nothing more than a life. If the Grand Marshal wants it, even if he takes it, we will not be afraid of death. If we want to pay taxes and serve like untouchables, don't think about it..."
This is crying, it is also forcing the palace, and it is also a declaration of war on Xu You!
Historical writing is like iron, how to write today?
This is a big gamble for the aristocratic families. If Xu You is afraid of being criticized, he will give in!
Xu You was independent in front of the Grand Sima. Facing these so-called nobles who only ignored the country and nation for their own interests, he could only sneer in his heart.
Now take a step back, all the innovations will be wasted, and the unification he pursued throughout his life will be fascinated again.
There is no way to retreat!
Xu You slowly walked to Yu Ting, looked down at the giant clan who had gone through four dynasties and said, "Ling Gong, the Yu family's family's capital is no less than billions. After paying taxes, can't they support more than a thousand people?"
Yu Ting straightened his backbone, like Jinsong who refused to surrender under the frost, and said, "Since Emperor Cheng of Wei and the founding of the Great Chu Kingdom, the gentry has become a custom-made custom. The Taiwei is arbitrarily changing things, treating scholars like cattle and horses. When they hear the four barbarians, how can they be a good reputation? How can they be named after the bamboo and silk? Are you really not afraid that everyone will attack them and cause chaos in Jiangdong?"
The wind blows through the snow and penetrates the blue bones, and walks alone towards the sky with geese on its back!
How can a sparrow know the ambition of a swan?
Xu You laughed to the sky and said, "So you also know that this kind of confusing rule was only found in Emperor Cheng of Wei. I believe you also know that when Emperor Wu of Wei was Sikong, he took the lead in paying taxes, and Emperor Ming of Wei also sent officials and ministers to work with his relatives. By the time Emperor Cheng of Wei, the military farming system collapsed. These aristocratic families began to crazily merge the fields, mountains and lakes, and rely on their power to stipulate that they should be of high character to the relatives of the disciples, the majority of the disciples and nine tribes, and the fewest of the children and descendants were the same. For two hundred years, you have been in high positions, enjoying prosperity, devouring the wealth and ointment of the people, but not the prosperous era, and the martial arts cannot pacify the north and south, and neither have the rule of contributions to the country nor the inch of gratitude to the people. How can you still kneel in front of this imperial gate, crying and pretending to be fake?"
Yu Shi was silent and could not speak.
Xu You has not argued with anyone for many years. Today, he returned to his old career and tried it out in a small way, but he was still invincible. After saying that, he turned his head to look at Liu Quan.
The Grandmaster's pressure was so amazing that Liu Quan trembled slightly, and he lowered his head, not daring to look at him.
Seeing that so many people on his side were not as powerful as Xu You, two officials had red eyes and decisive expressions. They shouted, "I would rather die than surrender today." They suddenly rushed out of the crowd and collided with the stone beast beside the imperial road.
A sudden burst of exclamation.
Whether you are forced to a palace or cry,
Even if you argue in person, you will be within the game.
Politics is the art of compromise.
But if two people really die in this collision, the situation will never be able to be cured.
Xu You waved his sleeves lightly, and the two of them fell into a weak position. They knelt in front of the stone beast, but could not move at all.
"Come here, these two people want to stain the palace blood. There must be an envoy behind the scenes to be arrested and be sentenced to the court prison awaiting trial!"
More than a dozen guards rushed over and tied up the two of them neatly. They were about to take them away. The ministers kneeling on the ground were angry. Someone raised his arms and shouted, "Why not die today, better than Xumen Dogs." The hundreds of officials were stimulated by this and lifted up their robes and wanted to come over to rescue the two tied.
Xu You waved his hand, the palace gate opened wide, and the two thousand guards who had been waiting for the battle rushed out. The iron armor shone with a colder light than the ice and snow. Red tassels floating on the long spear standing in the forest, surrounding the officials in the imperial road, full of the intention of killing.
Yu Shi and Liu Quan both changed their qualities.
Who would have thought that Xu You would be so tough?
Shouldn’t it be us who take a step further, and then everyone sit down and have a cup of tea and have a chat?
Anyway, you have made so many steps, what can you do if you take a step back?
Yu wanted to scold her mother.
Liu Quan regretted it a little.
Xu You was extremely calm and said, "Ling Gong, you can guess, do I dare to kill all of you..."
Do you dare to kill someone?
Maybe dare, maybe not,
But who will bet on his own life?
Time seems to freeze at this moment!
"kill!"
The guards suddenly shouted murderously, and their uniform steps fell to the ground, the sound was like thunder, and the ground was trembling.
All the officials were shocked and gathered together to support each other. When they fought, they never dared to speak again, for fear of irritating these soldiers and causing death.
The scene was tense and about to break out. Liu Quan finally couldn't bear the pressure and begged: "The Grand Marshal is kind..."
At this moment, Xie Xiwen, holding the imperial edict in his hand, appeared quickly from the palace, stood beside Xu You, and said sternly: "Your Majesty has an order: The Grand Marshal, the Secretariat, the Secretariat, the Six Ministers of the Tribe, and other third-rank ministers immediately entered the Taiji Hall to discuss matters. The other officials returned to their positions. Those who were still staying on the imperial road within half a quarter of an hour will be punished to kill the nine clans!"
Xu You smiled at Liu Quan and said, "Zhongshu Ling, you can't ignore my words. Your Majesty's will, don't you disobey your Majesty's will?"
Liu Quan was completely shocked by Xu You's desperate madness just now. He stood up obediently and turned around and said, "You all go back. Your Majesty will be punished by the new law."
The guards let go of a hole, and the officials looked at each other. Several Cao officials from the Ministry of Rites were scared and destined to show their respect and left. Someone started and followed one after another. The dense imperial roads were quickly empty.
"Let's go!"
Xu You coldly swept over Yu Shi, who was ashamed, and invited Liu Quan and others to go to Tai Chi Hall, leaving Yu Shi alone kneeling in the snow.
His figure is desolate and desperate!
In the Tai Chi Hall, the little emperor did not appear at all. Xu You directly threw out his bottom line: the new law must be implemented, and whoever dares to object is the enemy of the entire Jiangdong people, the enemy of the people, and the enemy of the country, can be regarded as traitors and punished.
The court will establish the Maritime Trade Company at the beginning of next spring, with the jurisdiction of the Yuanhai Trading Company and form an invincible fleet. Wherever the sun and the moon appear, our people can trade with each other.
Of course, the company was not a name that was later called. Confucius said, "The public means the wealth of several people, and the officials means operation." Therefore, he took the name of the company and replaced the name of the business.
"...If you actively support the new law, you can attract you to invest in the name of individuals or families. The court will take 30% of the shares, and the rest will take up the shares according to the number of money you have. At that time, the strange things of gathering people, mountains and beasts, and the strange things of collecting dragon balls and rhinoceros, and the daily progress will be more than just making gold?"
"When the maritime trade is prosperous, Yangzhou, Jiangzhou, Guangzhou and other coastal areas will set up eight important transshipment ports, and more docks and shipyards will also be built. You have rich people and have learned in advance that such major decisions are all opportunities to make money? How stupid is it? You only know how to focus on the little money in the field and use your reputation and future to make things difficult for the imperial court?"
Of course, the aristocratic families resisted desperately not for money, but for maintaining the special status achieved through countless open and secret struggles over the past two hundred years, so as to show their superiority and great honor.
However, Xu You deliberately changed the concept and turned the class contradiction between the noble and the lowly and the common people into the conflict of money and materials for profit, and the problem that can be solved with money is not a problem most of the time.
His fist was big, and no one dared to refute it. After all, everyone knew in their hearts that this was the step given by Xu You. If they didn't follow, the consequences would be unpredictable. The scene outside the Grand Sima's Sect just now might not have really happened. But if they followed, everyone would be tied to the same boat in the future and it would be difficult to tell each other.
"Of course, I am not a saint and will not give anyone the opportunity to make money. Yuanhai Trading Company has limited capital, first come first served, and the imperial court's plan only absorbs eight companies..."
Before he finished speaking, Liu Quan immediately stated: "The new law has great benefits for the country and the people, and I firmly support it!"
The others cursed in their hearts and quickly expressed their opinions that the backward almost knelt down and pleaded for mercy. Xu You reluctantly expanded his capital to twelve companies.
These twelve families almost cover the aristocratic families at the top of the pyramid of the Chu State.
However, it does not include Yu's family!
Life and death are at the forefront, and interests are at stake. Smart people will seek benefits and avoid harm.
There are no eternal friends, and no eternal enemies.
Who would have thought that these people who were almost alive to the death just now would have a great conversation in the Tai Chi Hall?
No one cares about Yu's life and death.
Xu You threw out such a big piece of cake, not just a pure fool, but to develop the long-sea trade in a short period of time, he must rely on the power of the clans. On the one hand, he made up for their losses due to the new law, and on the other hand, he used his interests to deeply bind the enemy into friends, and reduced his shackles on him at home.
If you lose political interests, you can get several times of economic benefits, and you can explain the past in every aspect.?
His goal is not in the south, but in the north!
You can only join forces with the clans and not fight to the death.
Chapter completed!
