Chapter 61 Aftermath
Jiashan County killed people and the news was like wings, and soon spread throughout Jiaxing Prefecture. Then, it continued to spread, shaking the eight prefectures and one prefecture in the south of the Yangtze River, and eventually spreading across the country.
Jiaxing.
"Just kill them all like this?" Wu Changshi shivered and touched the tea bowl. The temperature that was not hot was originally hot, but it suddenly shrank back as if it had burned him.
Xia Yunyi frowned and said in a deep voice: "It is indeed a bamboo riot to be aware of the laws and regulations, but the imperial court has slaughtered and slaughtered it as a false name, which is not the right way. The rampant factory and guards are not the blessing of the country."
Wu Changshi lowered his head and said quietly for a while: "It's just a warning to a hundred people. The court issued several edicts, but local officials were trapped by the local officials and obstructed by the local officials, and all kinds of work were difficult to implement."
After pausing, Wu Changshi looked up at Xia Yunyi and said, "In Jiangnan, you and I know how serious it is to offer secrets and slander, right?"
Seeing Wu Changshi's weak look, Xia Yunyi pondered for a moment and said, "There is a cause. If it weren't for the heavy taxes in Jiangnan, how could there be more hidden means? Besides, those who leak or commit evil will have their own national laws to deal with it. Why do you add charges to be punished by crimes rather than punishing them?"
"The factory guards also have the right to justice, right?" Wu Changshi sighed and said, "If you don't give the students a little decent, it shows the furiousness of the court. Brother Xia, let's discuss the association for a long time!"
That's right, Zhang Pu came back from the wall, and Xia Yunyi came to make friends again, hoping to set up a new "she" that teachers and students, relatives and friends.
Xia Yunyi was a little confused and said, "We are in association and we will repay harmony with poetry and essays. The members of the community are motivating each other with moral morals. What are the taboos?"
"There is no taboo." Wu Changshi smiled bitterly and said, "I'm afraid that someone will make a false accusation and will lead to the court's punishment! It's the limelight, so be careful."
Xia Yunyi was about to speak when the servant of the Wu family came in to deliver the latest issue of the "Ming Dynasty Forum".
Wu Changshi hurriedly took it over and looked through it, and his urgent look made Xia Yunyi stunned.
"The court has reduced the tax on money, grain and taxes in Jiangnan next year?" Wu Changshi muttered to himself, looking at the newspaper with confusion.
Xia Yunyi raised his eyebrows and said with a guess: "It must be that the killing is too much, so that people can be comforted by lenient politics?"
Wu Changshi blinked his eyes, said nothing, and continued to read the newspaper.
"The gentry's family is to beautify the palace, to cover the fields, to store gold and silver, to have a lot of servants, to receive visits, to make officials and chiefs, to give gifts to the banquets. I have never heard of Yanshi's sons, to be frugal and have few desires, to accumulate books, and to avoid those who are friends with friends."
"The gentry everywhere is arbitrary, abuses the hometown and bullies the neighbors, which is a great disaster to the local people. Now we should make more intentions and strictly prohibit them, so that all gentry will know how to abide by the laws and regulations, follow the rules and love themselves, and dare not involve any foreign affairs."
Wu Changshi shook his head and sighed: "Brother Xia, please see, this is the court's attitude towards gentry. Jiashan County is just the beginning, far from the end!"
Xia Yunyi pondered and said, "Although this is the case, the words and words have also eased a lot. I felt that it was unlikely to kill like Jiashan County."
Wu Changshi disagreed, his eyes flashed, and he noticed another article. After a closer look, he immediately seemed to have found the truth. "Brother Xia, please read it. The court has also expressed his attitude towards association."
As he said that, before Xia Yunyi came to watch, he began to recite, "Scholars are better than clothes and clothes, and they all travel widely, talk about social affairs for a long time, and even write more than spears. They build party support, win and lose, and all the courts and states suffer from their disasters."
"Wenhe, the world is full of sects, and all of them are called brothers. Alliances are popular, and all of them are called brothers. Even those who can snipers in the city can snipers and become powerful, and all of them are gentry who ask for information. They all follow their own gangs. The political affairs are chaotic, the officials are defeated, the people's hearts are drowning, and the customs are damaged..."
Wu Changshi raised his head, lit the newspaper repeatedly and said, "Brother Xia, shouldn't the court be cautious when treating associations like this?"
Xia Yunyi scratched his head and said, "There are harmful horses in the Wenshe Club, but they cannot be summarized in one sentence. The conclusions of the court are wrong!"
Wu Changshi widened his eyes and pointed his fingers, "This is not just the conclusion of the court, it is the words of the emperor!"
The imperial edict?! Xia Yunyi was shocked and hurriedly grabbed the newspaper to read it. Although there was no word "无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无
Although no one confirmed it, the emperor never admitted it. But everyone saw this, and Xia Yunyi had to frown and fell into deep thought.
………………………………………
The vigorous and strict handling not only caused a stir in the local area, but also a shock in the court.
Whether it is a bandit or a disaster, there are more than 200 people who die, and it does not happen once or twice a year.
But the nature is completely different. Killing scholars and burying scholars is to be written into historical books. How can it be covered up by the hat of "inciting people to chaos and ill-conspiring"?
Some officials felt that things hurt their kind, some were resentment and fear of the "factory guards" acted ruthlessly, and some were worried about the reputation of the emperor...
Fear, resentment, fear, worry... all kinds of emotions surged in the hearts of different officials, but few people dared to come out and squirt about major cases that have been qualitative and handled.
The emperor's murderous intention has been revealed, and you still have to defend "criminals who have committed evil intentions". Is it enough to live?
Regardless of the officials' reaction, the court has been very calm these days. The emperor is like nothing, and the officials are like deaf and blind, and no one mentions this major case.
Has it been passed? Of course not, but I can only hold it in my heart.
The emperor did not mention the case, but the matter was not over.
The memorial of Jiashan County Magistrate Liu Lishun was approved and he began to vigorously investigate the money, grain and taxes of the gentry township in the county.
This was originally the work in the planned work issued by the court, including the editing and revision of the yellow book and the fish scale book. It can be said that Liu Lishun was just continuing to do his job.
However, the meaning of submitting memorials at this time was extraordinary. First, it expressed his determination, and second, it was the quick response and encouragement of the court, which was equivalent to giving other local officials clear instructions.
The reason is very simple. The court has already used an iron fist to intimidate you. If you don’t strike while the iron is hot, it will only mean that there is a problem with your work attitude, and it can even be said that you are in harmony with the evil gentry.
Is it a secret to hide money, grain and taxes? What everyone knows is almost revealed, and there is no problem under your rule? What fun is it!
Zhu Youxiao's real purpose is also this, not only to support Liu Lishun, but to encourage all local officials who want to do their jobs in a solid manner but are bound to encourage them.
More than 200 heads, can't I change the retreat of the gentleman?
Zhu Youxiao believes that there are certain difficulties in reform, such as obstruction and destruction, naughty, shameless, but not many people who are afraid of life, right?
