He pointed his fingers hard on the table, and Li Dan emphasized: "We must let go of the wind and tell Hongmaoyi that if war begins, the maritime merchants will obey the imperial court's orders and cut off their trade with Japan. If Hongmaoyi dares to plunder the maritime merchants' ships in the South China Sea, we will also intercept their merchant ships."

Yan Siqi nodded vigorously and said, "Yes, yes, that's what it should be. Now, the Dutch have an advantage in the South China Sea. We are in the East China Sea, and we have many ships and navy helpers, so we are not afraid of them."

Li Dan sneered: "After cutting off trade with Japan and getting into evil with the Ming Dynasty, the wealth of Hongmao Yi was cut off. I think they could still distinguish the interests."

Yan Siqi blinked her eyes, suddenly thoughtful, and said for a while: "Dongfan has just started to immigrate to the army this year? Is this considered planning ahead and preparing to start a war with the Red and Mao Yi in advance?"

Li Dan smiled and said, "There is also Penghu. Long live the wisdom of the emperor, and there are also capable people in the court. The thoughts are far away, and we can't reach it."

The actions of the court at that time may not make people see the deep meaning behind it, but after so long, when the Hongmao Yi was ready to move, he finally knew how long the thoughts were.

Yan Siqi smiled and raised her glass and said, "The Lord, the sage minister, let's have a blessing. Come and drink."

"Drinking victory." Li Dan raised his glass and smiled happily.

Although we did not know that the bank and the abolition of the two countries would be implemented in a few months, the gentry, merchants and even ordinary people in Jiangnan also realized that the court seemed to be doing some actions in Jiangnan.

Starting from Suzhou Prefecture, within more than two months, all commanders of the eight prefectures in Jiangnan were replaced.

The new commander-in-chief not only came from martial arts, but also took the 500 new army to take office. Then, it was the turn of the commander-in-chief below, followed by the Qianhu Office.

After the officers gradually changed from top to bottom, they cut off the weak and kept the strong, and retrained the army. The original guard soldiers were either re-entered or included in the civilian nationality.

According to the military system of the Ming Dynasty, one government office was established, several government offices were established, and the guard commander commanded 5,600 troops, and a thousand households were 1,120, and a hundred households were 112.

However, the corruption in the Wei Dynasty caused the phenomenon of empty salary and shortage of money.

After the iron-fisted policy of "clearing the garrison and replenishing the salary" and the declaration of "no blame for the past", the garrison troops from all over the country were basically found out, and most of the encroached garrisons were taken back.

The removal of these obstacles allows the new commander, commander, thousands and hundreds of households to start to consolidate the army and restore their strength more smoothly.

The abolition of the military system of the garrison is an obvious fact. Whether or not it should be rectified is not a problem except for the obstacle of the ancestral system.

However, in combination with the various policies implemented by the court this year, the purpose of replacing officers and strengthening local garrisons seems to be not that simple.

"The court is not going to kill and conquer the house by 'rebel rebellion' again?" Zheng Shaokang helped his father, who had just recovered from serious illness, and asked with lingering fear: "Strengthening local garrisons, even dispatching troops from other places."

Zheng Yuanjin was not very sure, but could only say it based on his own analysis and judgment, "In terms of his father's opinion, it would not be like this. But those rural officials and gentry with bad records, as well as illegal merchants, have excellent prospects."

Stopped by a few large tanks, Zheng Yuanjin gently broke away from his son's support, admired the goldfish swimming in the tank, and said slowly: "Yi Shang, Long Live has been defined. The civil servants also granted four titles, but there is no one in Jiangnan."

He threw some fish food into the tank and watched the goldfish float up to grab food. Zheng Yuanjin smiled and said, "Although the merchants in Jiangnan may not be all illegal, in the eyes of Long Live, they are not good enough and cannot find a model for the time being."

Zheng Shaokang nodded slightly, admired his father's analysis, and said, "The collusion between officials, businessmen, gentry, and landlords is the most important. Long live to attack this force, and it is indeed necessary to have generals and troops as if they are pointed at by the arm."

"There are also students, and I'm afraid there will be a large number of people." Zheng Yuanjin narrowed his eyes, "The evil words confuse the public? Isn't the sin to death?"

Zheng Shaokang was silent. The knife was really terrifying.

The famous scholars in the county are usually above the top, and they are very arrogant and arrogant. They fall to the ground in a blink of an eye, and they are not even considered a true crime.

There are ghosts who died in every temple. Zheng Shaokang remembered his father's past sigh and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"These corrupt scholars and scholars have not seen the situation clearly yet!" Zheng Yuanjin sat down slowly in the chair next to him and sneered: "I thought the court would not do it if they were missing them, and I thought they could help the poor. In fact, nothing is wrong."

Zheng Shaokang agreed: "No one can match his talk, but no strategy for stability and stability. Long live the assessment before is extremely accurate."

After pausing, Zheng Shaokang continued: "How many rumors have been driven away from the court, but the state affairs have improved even more. Liaodong has won many victories, and the southwest has suppressed the rebellion. This shows that Long Live is right and it is a wise move."

Zheng Yuanjin smiled and expressed his appreciation, stretched out his hand to signal his son to sit down, and said slowly: "This is where the confidence lies in continuing to suppress the rumor, the gentry, merchants and rural eunuchs."

"If state affairs get worse, long live the system may change the system." Zheng Yuanjin shook his head, showing a bit of contempt.

With a sarcastic sneer, Zheng Yuanjin said: "But on the contrary, Liaodong has had several consecutive victories, and the rebellion in the southwest has been suppressed. In this way, it can only prove that those people are useless people and it is useless to stay."

This is really a slap in the face. When the state affairs are in trouble every day, they are getting worse and worse. A group of people are getting out of here, but they are getting better and better news.

Even landlords like Zheng Yuanjin saw that those "just" literati officials still didn't know that they were missing in the court, which was the loss of the court, and the emperor was foolish and blinded. Wouldn't he be shameless?

Zheng Shaokang suddenly remembered something and asked: "Father, uncle wanted to open a weaving workshop and sell the cotton cloth to the sea merchants. The child originally thought he could participate in the stake, but the situation is unclear now, is it..."

Zheng Yuanjin thought about it while touching his beard, and after a while, he said, "There should be no problem in opening a workshop. According to the news in the newspaper, Long Live is happy to see it. There is insufficient land, so it is a good thing to find a meal for the refugees."

Zheng Shaokang thought for a while and said, "Then according to my uncle, our family will spend half of the funds."

Zheng Yuanjin gently said with a deep thought: "When I'm father, I think about it carefully. This workshop may be an opportunity for our Zheng family to become successful."

………………………………………

"The rumors were repeatedly suppressed, the righteous officials were frequently dismissed, the factory guards were rampant, and the court was also filled with villains who value profit and flattery..."

Wu Changshi blinked and looked at the passionate Zhang Pu, a little dazed.

Zhang Pu's courtesy name is Tianru and his pseudonym is Ximing. He was from Taicangzhou, Suzhou Prefecture, Nanzhili. He was young and studious, and was known as a child prodigy.

In history, he was the founder of the famous Fushe. The popularity of Fushe also shocked the court and the people, claiming to be "the gathering of Spring and Autumn, with a full road in the road", "When you look out of a city, you will know that there are Fushe."

Moreover, Fushe should be a continuation of the Donglin Party, with its influence spread across the northern and southern provinces, and it is a very famous organization.

It was not until Zhang Pu finished speaking that he had a round eyes, without much excitement or anger, and asked weakly: "Do you want to organize and comment on current affairs?"

"That's right!" Zhang Pu replied: "The name is Yingshe, which means taking the imperial examination. You usually make friends through literature and also comment on current affairs."

Seeing that Wu Chang was still not very responsive, Zhang Pu continued: "I have contacted Zhang Cai, Yang Yi, Gu Menglin, Zhu Wei and others. If Brother Wu joins, he will be a talented person."

Wu Changshi smiled bitterly and said, "The current affairs may be inappropriate. Even Mr. Donglin cannot leave in seclusion, so we wait..."

In the Li Sancai corruption case, the emperor slapped a group of gentlemen in the face, and did not take care of Gu Xiancheng, who was famous all over the government and the country, but was even more ruthless.

Gu Xiancheng was also criticized for his prominence and his reputation was greatly damaged. He was also a shameless person who lived in seclusion in books and did not engage in any public lectures.

The officials and gentry who originally sponsored Donglin Academy also noticed the direction of the court. Who would dare to take the risk of angering the court?

Zhang Pu interrupted Wu Changshi and said with a sigh: "Brother Wu doesn't have to belittle himself. He is not talented. Brother Wu, Zhang Cai, Yang Yi, Gu Menglin and others are all famous scholars in the county. Wouldn't it be easy to gain reputation?"

Wu Changshi knew that Zhang Pu was humble. In terms of reputation, Zhang Pu was as famous as his fellow villager Zhang Cai, and was collectively known as "Loudong Er Zhang", which was much better than him.

But he was scared and cautious, no matter what imperial examinations, the imperial examinations and re-examinations, he stayed away from all those who evaluated current affairs and sang against the emperor.

Zhang Pu still didn't know what crimes the people who were beheaded in the capital had committed. The scope of the evil words was very large, and he was not very clear about the things behind the scenes.

Wu Changshi was unwilling to say more, and took out a recent newspaper and pointed it out to Zhang Pu, "Brother Zhang, the court's attitude towards students is worrying, and it is extremely inappropriate to form associations at this time. Let's wait a while to see the direction of the wind."

A look of contempt flashed across Zhang Pu's face. He didn't expect Wu Changshi to become so timid and completely lose his previous generosity and ostentatiousness.

Wu Changshi was still saying to himself, "Look, the customs mentioned here are getting more and more popular. Those who are healthy and can slam the gang, those who are green and can swear, and those who are mountain people can scold and sit, then the superiors will be afraid and worship them like a proud son."

"There is also this, gathering people to advocate, and being good at charity is good, but being good at adhering to public opinion, it is a bad habit to attract people to gather together..."

Zhang Pu rolled his eyes and patiently finished listening, and said coldly: "Brother Wu has this concern, so he will not force him. He also wants to visit friends, so he will say goodbye and not bother him."

Wu Changshi hurriedly said, "Since there is something wrong, Brother Zhang invites you, so I won't leave any distinguished guests."

A distinguished guest? You are expensive.

Zhang Pu left Wu's house, looked back, spat hard, and then left.
