The Fengyang Zhao family, which has been passed down for hundreds of years and has been slaughtered for five generations, naturally has accumulated a huge amount of land. It is just a common practice among the Beijing gentry to keep these lands under the academies. Everyone does this, and nothing happens to them.

, it cannot be said that Xiao Zhao has selfish motives and wants to maintain the existence of the academy.

If Xiao Zhao really cared about money and land, when he first broke into Hanyang City, he raided the residences of Jin Zuchun and Pu Zongqing. He could make a lot of money, but he didn't go there. When he was awarded the title of first-class Jingshe meritorious official, he could do so as a rule.

To give land to meritorious officials, there are more than 500,000 knots of land confiscated. If Xiao Zhao wants a 108,000 yuan, Hong Jinglai will definitely give it.

But he didn't want it!

If you want to say that he doesn't love money at all, that may be false, but to say that Xiao Zhao is greedy for money is indeed biased. His background determines that he will definitely become a high-ranking official and make a lot of money. If he has no ideals, he will do

Why not follow Hong Jing to achieve great things? If you just eat and die in Hanyang, you can reach heights that others cannot reach in their lifetime.

"That's a matter within the Zhao Dafan clan, what does it have to do with Zhao Dafan!" Hong Jinglai still wanted to defend Zhao Wanyong, and Zhao Wanyong was really not that kind of person, so he couldn't let him misunderstand him.

"Ah! It's the official who made a mistake, it's the official who made a mistake!" Jin Shilong didn't originally intend to ridicule Zhao Wanyong, he just said it directly.

Who in Hanyang doesn't know that the Cho family's academy in Pongyang has 80,000 academy fields? Everyone knows it, but no one has taken it out and put it on the table. It would be meaningless to say it.

"It doesn't matter..." Xiao Zhao's face looked a little embarrassed.

After all, the old Zhao family took advantage of the boss in the academy. He had just advised Hong Jinglai not to touch the academy. No matter how he looked at it, it seemed that he was related to interests and could not be objective.

Seeing that the situation was embarrassing, Jin Shilong immediately resigned, leaving time and space for Hong Jinglai and Zhao Wanyong. Hong Jinglai, who was originally going to see Zhao Wanyong away, stopped seeing him off, and the two returned to the house.

Now that the issue of inventorying the academy has been discussed, it is put on the table. As one of the ways to solve the problem of the two classes being at the bottom, it does have its feasibility and necessity.

However, this matter is indeed tricky. Not to mention that Xiao Zhao’s family has an academy and a field to rent his name to. In fact, even Hong Jing came here. As a high-ranking official for generations, the Fengshan Hong family even once impacted the most powerful family in North Korea. Not only did they have members of their own clan,

There are quite a lot of fields named under the academy, and there are even more hidden slaves.

If this matter were to be done, not only Hong Shourong would strongly oppose it, but even the Queen and Concubine Hong might be alarmed!

It's not that you can't bear to part with those properties. With power, it's too easy to make money. And if you ask anyone in the Jinghua noble family how to choose between power and money, as long as they are sane, they will definitely choose power. Yes.

Having power means having everything.

Hong Jinglai doesn't care much about money now, although he himself is very rich. But what Hong Jinglai cares more about is strengthening the power of the Hanyang court he leads, expanding his prestige, and maintaining a stable and long-term rule.

By analogy, people like Hong Shourong, who is also a central figure in the politics of the Hong clan in Fengshan, are among the small group of people who can share the highest power. In fact, he no longer cares much about money.

Then why does he strongly oppose the inventory of academies? The reason is very simple, because these institutions such as ancestral temples, private schools, academies, etc. are no longer just educational institutions. They often worship the sages and dignitaries of the clan in the region.

.To a certain extent, it also plays a role in ancestor worship and serves as a spiritual holy place for a certain clan.

These academy buildings have been completely tied to the Yangban class, and have even replaced the status of ancestral halls. In addition to worshiping Confucius, many academies completely ignore other sages and sages, and only worship their own ancestors.

If Confucius's memorial tablet hadn't been big enough and he was known as the teacher of all generations, those academy temples might not even worship Confucius, and it would be normal for them to just kick down the portrait tablet of Confucius.

As Confucianism reaches this day, there are only a handful of Confucian scholars who sincerely emphasize "Confucius said to become benevolent, Mencius said to obtain righteousness", and there are not a few who take Confucianism as the first step to enter the world.

The same is true for many yangban in North Korea. As time goes by, the academy gradually builds and maintains the relationship network of the entire family with the academy as the center. As the spiritual link of the family, it not only assumes the responsibility of teaching and educating people, but also places its trust in the ancestors.

The academy has reached a certain level of irreplaceable worship.

Move one hair and move the whole body!

Xiao Zhao knew that once the academies were investigated, even if they only closed down those pheasant academies that had not been granted by the previous kings, and returned the fields under the academies' names to the families where the academies were located, without depriving them of their land and slaves, all Koreans would

Liangban will also completely come to the opposite side of Hong Jinglai.

Moreover, even those academies that have been granted quotas by the ancestors of the past dynasties are actually not able to send tens of thousands of tax-free land in their names. Some academies originally only allowed tens of thousands of land to be tax-free, and exempted several households from the labor of slaves. But two

The class members relied on their power as officials and officials to constantly transfer their fields to the name of the academy to avoid tax exemption.

Almost half of the clan's land has been turned into tax-free land, which has greatly damaged the country's fiscal revenue and completed the accumulation of wealth for the family.

Whether in terms of wealth or spirituality, the two classes will strongly oppose the inspection of the academy. Although they have no sense at all, although their actions are illegal, and although they are digging the grave of the entire class, they will not

There is a little bit of repentance.

There are too few people like Zhao Wanyong who betray the class!

There is only one person like Hong Jinglai who does not regard himself as a second-class person!

"Is it really impossible to do anything?" Hong Jinglai looked directly at Zhao Wanyong with bright eyes.

"You can't do it, you really can't do it!" Zhao Wanyong looked directly at Hong Jinglai without any hesitation.

Throughout the ages, the ancestors who dared to initiate reforms in the middle and later stages of the feudal dynasty, if you insist on saying so, no one will die a good death. Or even if you die, you will not die a good death, and you will be infamy for the rest of your life.

In later generations, there has been a rumor on the Internet that Wang Anshi was the first in the biography of traitors in Song Dynasty. This is of course a rumor, but it is a fact that Lu Huiqing, Zhang Dun and others who participated in Wang Anshi's reform were all included in the biography of traitors.

Not to mention Zhang Juzheng in the Ming Dynasty. He kicked off his legs and immediately ransacked his home. His children were locked in their homes and starved to death. What the hell is this?

"Then is there a better way, brother, so that I can go on?"
