"Have you been worried too much?"

Wang Fuzhi said.

Of course he understood that Sun Qifeng was entrusted by gentry from all over the country to lobby for the Four People's Congress. At present, among the three masters of Confucianism in the north and south, Liu Zongzhou was bedridden. Huang Daozhou did not care about foreign affairs, and to be precise, he had already retired to the mountains and forests...

In fact, Lao Huang's reputation has greatly damaged.

After all, he escaped in the battle against Yang Qing.

The rest is Sun Qifeng.

And it happened that Sun Qifeng had a grudge with Yang Qing because his family was reformed. Although the crime of traitor did not fall on this great scholar, as a famous landlord of Baoding, his land was divided. His family's land was originally encircled by the Eight Banners and finally taught with the support of his friends. However, this time Dorgon relied on the gentry in the north, and of course it was impossible to indulge the land of the top scholars like the Eight Banners. But unexpectedly, even Jiannu did not do it, the official army that revived the north forced his land and then directly distributed it to the tenants to establish an imperial farm. This was really disappointing. Although Sun Qifeng was not begging for food, it could be considered bankrupt. He didn't want to stay at home and listen to his family crying poor, so he simply traveled to the south of the Yangtze River and was quickly invited by Donglin Academy.

Now major academies in Jiangnan are inviting.

Such top scholars came forward to lobbying the representatives of the Four People, especially Wang Fuzhi, who are actually recognized as the representatives of the Four People, is undoubtedly very important.

“Think too much?”

Sun Qifeng smiled and said, "It seems that you don't know how the militias in the northern imperial villages poisoned the gentry!"

"Please make a clear statement from Zhong Yuangong!"

Wang Fuzhi said quickly.

"I said that I was traveling south, but in fact, I came from disaster. Since the official army recovered Hebei, I initially only targeted those who depended on the slaves and confiscated their family members for the crime of traitors. Those who were serious were beheaded and displayed on the public; those who were minor were exiled to Taiwan; women were married to poor people without wives. If this is the case, although it is against the way of kindness, those who were traitors deserved the crime. However, in fact, they encouraged reports and allowed the unruly people to maliciously accused and clinged to others. There were many people who took revenge on the deacons, and the deacons were not investigated in detail. Therefore, many people were killed without guilt!"

Sun Qifeng sighed.

Wang Fuzhi's expression was unchanged...

Everyone is adult, and they all understand this kind of thing!

Of course, the officials and the Jinyiwei in the north who are responsible for the trial of traitors and heresy are not really good children. Their main responsibility is to search homes, and secondly to deal with traitors. As for encouraging rumors to expand their robbers, this is inevitable.

Take down a traitor and copy a copy of his home.

Of course the more, the better.

As for whether it is wronged...

Which injustice should the gentry in the north be carefully corrected?

Sun Qifeng got up carefully and there were still a lot of students who were traitors. When he was a teacher, he still said he was not responsible.

"That's all!"

Sun Qifeng said.

"There is no such thing as cruel officials? At most, there are more unjust cases until the land reform teams arrive."

He continued.

At the same time, there was a hint of fear on his face.

His expression suddenly made Wang Fuzhi serious.

"They forcibly confiscated all the land, and whether they were traitors or not, the gentry had rebels, and they encouraged the poor to do it themselves, arrested these innocent gentry, put them on the platform, and put them on paper hats, allowing the poor to humiliate them wantonly. They even drove their whole family out of their houses, divided their property and houses, locked them in woodsheds and cattle sheds, and beat them up and treated them like livestock every day or night. The victims had no way to ask for advice, and they didn't care about any garrison or local officials. Because the land reform team belonged to the Jinyiwei, they were Yang Qing's confidant, just like the imperial envoys of the eunuch party back then. And this was not an occasional event, but in all places, they called this a complaint. All the imperial garrisons were in progress, and even those gentry who had not resisted could not be spared. It can be said that all the gentry in the north were cleaned up by them!

I have to leave.

If I don’t leave, I will be locked in the woodshed!"

Sun Qifeng said.

"This is serious?"

Wang Fuzhi took a deep breath and said.

"Is Lao a lie?"

Sun Qifeng said.

He did not lie.

Of course, land reform in the north will not be easy. Who would have handed over the land obediently? They were all farmers under Dorgon. Now they have to hand over the land and then farm for a living by themselves. Isn’t this forcing them to rebel?

Gentlemen resisted almost everywhere.

Those who are open, not public, directly engage in force confrontation, act as bandits attacking the land reform team, and mobilize relationships to ask for help. In short, they use all the means they can use to resist. Those land reform teams have rich experience in dealing with this, so they directly appeal to the conference without any trouble. This is an almost invincible magic weapon, and then the rest is left to the poor, and they can be the ones who take the lead.

However, such things will not be publicly promoted in southern newspapers.

Yang Qing has a censorship system.

Moreover, at this time, the news source of the Southern newspaper was Yingtian Daily. Only this newspaper could get the news sent back by the Jinyiwei's communication tower. Most newspapers could not obtain it if this newspaper did not report it. As for the private letters of northern officials, they also had to be reviewed by the postal system controlled by the Jinyiwei, and merchants returning from the north would also be warned at various checkpoints. In fact, even if someone dared to talk nonsense, they would be quickly arrested by the Jinyiwei. Yang Qing's spy rule can be said to be quite mature. Of course, it cannot be said that there is no news at all, but Yang Qing will also cleanse the floor. His propaganda machine will use various means to annihilate these news invisible.

In this era, the means of information transmission are limited.

What's more, in the past, the southern gentry had no need to care about the life and death of the same kind in the north. They promoted this and did not do them well, and they were in vain to make Yang Qing feel uncomfortable. But now it's different. Yang Qing has already provoked a war, and the southern gentry is actually in a decisive state with him, so they just use this to fight back.

But Wang Fuzhi really didn't know.

"You are still deceived by his mask, but you don't know his true face. He is implementing his plan to destroy Confucianism step by step. First, use the new imperial examination to introduce non-Confucian officials to the officialdom, and then destroy the gentry class with land reform. Without the gentry class, there would be no academies that inherit the way of sages. Then, he cultivated the next generation of non-Confucianism with compulsory education. He took action step by step. All he needed was time. And he did not lack time. He had fifty or even a hundred years to wait. He first cut off the foundation of Confucianism, and then used time to kill the towering tree of Confucianism. Fifty years later, when this big tree died, all he needed was to push it gently.

So, can we sit and watch this big tree be pushed down by him?

Don’t forget that we are Confucian disciples.”

Sun Qifeng said.

Wang Fuzhi was silent.

"This is a battle of Taoism. The Confucian war against the waters that has been passed down for more than two thousand years. If we want to preserve the Confucian Taoism, our only choice is to preserve the gentry class. The foundation of Confucianism lies in the gentry. If the gentry loses, Confucianism will perish, and if the gentry prospers, Confucianism will perish. There is no other choice!"

Sun Qifeng said.

It has to be said that the great Confucianism is different. It immediately elevated the struggle to the height of the Daotong War, but what he said is right. Even though his original intention was to lobby for the representatives of scholars led by Wang Fuzhi, people like Wang Fuzhi were definitely not fooled by lies. This must be useful. Yang Qing's purpose was basically considered to be the one who guessed that this guy was destroying Confucianism step by step. Although it was too much to say that he destroyed Confucianism, and protecting the country never thought of destroying Confucianism. But to solve the gentry, solve the old education system controlled by the gentry, and cultivate the next generation with the compulsory education system. Who will still deal with the Confucianism in fifty years?

I guess no one will read the Four Books and Five Classics except those who specialize in researching knowledge.

At that time, Confucianism was destroyed or not.

It is impossible to revive.

The garbage in the garbage dump is garbage. There is no chance to turn waste into treasure. No matter how whitewashing it, it cannot cover up the stale stench. This kind of thing does not need to be taken seriously in a hundred years. As long as compulsory education is popularized, who will take care of this kind of thing? After all, Confucianism can only control its thoughts by catering to the rulers. What else can they do when the rulers don’t need them? Do they have the courage to defend the way with martial arts? In that way, Yang Qing will fulfill them. Unfortunately, history has proved that Confucianism has worsened after the Ashes. Until now, except for a few more special ones, they are all verbal.

It is impossible to defend the way with martial arts.

There may be some who defend the way with death, but only at present, these people are gone after they die.

In short, there is no hurry to protect the country.

But from the moment, it is not wrong to say that he is using his own black hands to destroy Confucianism bit by bit. At least from the way the northern land reform area treats great and small scholars, the Duke of the National Guard is indeed implementing a evil plan.

A plan to exterminate Confucianism.

However……

"Brother Jiang Zhai, what should I do?"

A scholar representative watched Sun Qifeng's carriage leave, and then asked uncertainly.

"what to do?"

Wang Fuzhi smiled bitterly.

"Are we originally going to agree to the Public Field Law?"

He said.

Several scholars beside him shook their heads.

They all have houses and fields, so how could they agree to the public land law? This is related to their vital interests and must vote against it. This is the same whether anyone lobbies or not. The same is true for Wang Fuzhi, who is also a landlord. Even though he has turned to industry and commerce in recent years, land is still an important asset of their family.

They can't really be willing to hand over it.

"But we're useless!"

A scholar said weakly.

Even if all the scholars voted against the Public Land Law, it would be useless. After all, they only had one-quarter of the votes. If they wanted to block the Public Land Law, they had to vote more than 50%, which means they still had to have one-quarter of the alliance. But from the recent meetings, this was obviously very difficult. Although the representatives of merchants and some self-cultivated farmers did not like this very much, it was still difficult to let them block the Duke of Protecting the Country. After all, this is not their vital interests. The merchant class does not have much land, and they have money to open factories and trade. They don’t like it just because they need to pay more wages. However, if the public land is fully developed, the rapid growth of industry and commerce will be inevitable.

After all, it is difficult to count on tenants to spend.

Only those tenants who can only eat enough can spend money without extra money, so the royal people in the imperial village have money to spend money.

Although self-cultivated farmers also have to lose their land, according to the public land law, those with less than 50 acres are directly given cash. Self-cultivated farmers are nothing more than selling land to get a considerable amount of wealth, and then enter the public farm to enjoy the same treatment as the imperial farm, and can also obtain 30 years of tax exemption in a land reclamation area in the north.

There is no loss in this way.

It is impossible to go to the north to reclaim wasteland, but such a land share can be resold, or to give up this piece of land for compensation for bird droppings.

And compensation for thirty years.

Quantitative fat tickets are available for free every year.

By the way, since the plan to develop bird droppings in Nauru was put on the agenda, Duke Hu Guo completely let go of the fat tickets. Anyway, he could drive the merchant ship powered by the machine sails for up to ten years. No matter how many fat tickets he prints now, it can be cashed out at that time. Not only Nauru, but also South America's bird droppings can also be developed. At this time, bird droppings are actually already used there.

Fat tickets are the safest.

That's a paper money comparable to the free exchange of gold standard.

This is considered that the self-cultivated farmers will suffer no losses.
