Chapter 90: The plausible truth fools people

The emperor sat in the Ming Hall.

Now the prince has left Shanwowo and finally entered the "Mingtang".

Although he arranged a pretty good residence for the prince and others, Jin Qiude didn't dare to show too much attentiveness. After all, the situation is not completely clear yet.

There is Emperor Hongguang in Nanjing City, and a Ming orthodox suddenly appeared in the small county town here. Anyone knew very well: the storm was coming.

Emperor Hongguang abdicated to the prince, and anyone with a slightly normal mind knows that this is not possible.

Since Emperor Hongguang could not recognize the orthodox position of the prince, the situation was hard to say.

Will troops be sent to attack? No one can say.

The most direct way is to order Huang Degong to take the orthodox Ming Dynasty into Nanjing, and then make many remarks about "This prince is a fake" to calm the matter.

But Huang Degong had an entanglement with Hongguang Dynasty, and it was still unknown whether he would support the prince.

Back then, Hongguang was entirely dependent on the military's power, and Huang Degong was also considered a contribution, but everyone knew that this Marquis of Jingnan, Huang and Hongguang were getting farther and farther away.

In which direction will the situation develop? Only God knows.

The prince who had just settled in Shucheng immediately wrote two letters and asked Jin Qiude to send someone to send to Emperor Hongguang of Nanjing and Huang Degong at the junction of Luzhou and Chuzhou.

Jin Qiude held these two letters, as if he was holding a millstone.

Although I don’t know the content of the letter, Jin Qiude knew that this letter must be a major event about orthodox resonance. If the troubles are not done well, the entire Jiangnan will cause another bloody storm because of this letter...

No matter which force it is, it is not something that the little Shucheng County Master can afford. He can only do things honestly and be an official...

"This world is going to be in chaos again!" Jin Lao County Master came out with the corner of his robe, looking at the gloomy sky, as if he was talking to himself: "It shouldn't be a storm season now, right?"

Let me say that after Li Si entered the city, he did not participate in these matters of the prince. Instead, he kept cleaning up the registered household files of the county, listed the list of wealthy gentry, and even sent someone to count the land industries under the names of various major households...

Jin Lao County Zun was not very familiar with Li Si's usual methods, and he thought that these ordinary things were not concerned about them.

However, those people in the East Palace were so familiar with Li Si's approach that they could not be more familiar with. This was clearly a sign of using powerful means to attack the landlords and gentry.

The blow may not accurately describe what Li Si did, and perhaps it should be more appropriate to use cleaning.

Like a robber, he robbed all the savings of landlords and wealth, and immediately used force to suppress them if he didn't do anything. In many cases, he even used force directly, which was more thorough than Li Chuang's methods back then.

From the capital to Luzhou, Li Si and his army to die have always done this.

Although everyone in the East Palace opposed the robbers of Li Si and kidnappers, they were on the way to migrate. In order to ensure the interests of the entire migration team, to ensure the combat effectiveness of the army to die and the safety of the prince and others, it was barely a matter of saying that this was a matter of course.

In Li Si's own words, it is: the money, grain and rice of these big families cannot be left to the thieves or Tartars. If we don't rob them, we will sooner or later fall into the hands of the enemy...

But now I am in Shucheng and on my own territory. If I do this, I will definitely make people feel resentful.

Throughout the dynasties, the gentry class was the most important powerful faction. Even those who were as tough as Emperor Taizu Hongwu did not dare to touch the interests of the gentry.

When everyone heard that Li Si was going to do this again, even Yang Tinglin, a military supervisor who was close to the army to die, was so scared that he stood upside down and hurried to find Li Si.

"Commander Li, I heard that you are sorting out the local household files again, this is what you want..."

Li Si was holding a cigarette pot in his mouth, and was in great pleasure. The blue and white smoke lingered, and the choking smell of smoke could make people feel like somersault.

The scholar behind Li Si was buried in the pile of various copywriting, which was Zhou Wenyuan. Perhaps he was already used to the smell of tobacco. He just looked up at Yang Tinglin and immediately lowered his head to work again.

Zhou Wenyuan can write and calculate, but he is considered a treasure in Li Si's hands. Most of the troops who go to death are powerful men who can kill and die. Such treasures are rare, and there are not many of them, and there are not many dozens of people out of tens of thousands of people.

It is these twenty or so people who can write and calculate that are doing the work of sorting out local household files, and Zhou Wenyuan has been appointed as the general copywriter by Li Si.

Although Zhou Wenyuan had never heard of a position like Zongwen Copy, he was not sure what kind of official position he had never appeared in the Ming Dynasty, or was he willing to accept it.

Since joining Li Si's whole, the most basic rule is that you cannot eat without work. You used to work hard with the villagers. Now that you have to make a living with this copywriting, you will not talk about it when you are free. More importantly, this is what scholars should do.

"Hasn't Lord Yang been busy with the prince? You heard it as soon as I started to do it. It's so quick news." Li Si had no intention of covering up on this matter at all, so he admitted it directly.

"The prince has been clamoring for this matter. I have already filled my ears. I can't help but not hear them." Yang Tinglin tried to make his tone easier, pretending to pull the seating device casually and sat down peacefully. Then he said: "If it were to say that in the past, it would be understandable that our army to go to the death so blatantly looted the people's wealth, but now it is the key moment for the prince to win the hearts of the people. Commander Li does this again... aren't he afraid of the public's resentment?"

"Boiling? I think who dares to boil me." Li Si seemed to realize that the murderous aura in his words was too obvious, and he turned his accent back a little stiffly: "There are few gentry and landlords who used to scold us? It's just a rope to hang it up."

"If you have not yet established a stable foothold in Shucheng this year, you will offend the gentry. Even if you have strong suppression from the army to die, it is inappropriate. I believe Commander Li also knows that the world has been the world of gentry for thousands of years. Without gentry landlords, how can the poor people achieve great things alone?"

This is also very heart-wrenching.

Due to the limitations of the general environment, the poor class at that time was far from reaching the level of awakening, and to a large extent they were still attached to the gentry class. This is the social reality before modern times.

"It is definitely not possible to rely on the poor people alone." Li Si first recognized the dominance of the gentry class: "Of course, we still have to rely on the power of the gentry landlords."

It seems that Li Si is not just a reckless man who can fight and kill, but at least he can see the importance of the gentry. Yang Tinglin finally breathed a sigh of relief: "It's so good. Commander Li knows the benefits and interests of the gentry, and he should be careful to protect the interests of the gentry. There must be no gentry in the world..."

"Well, you're right," Li Si nodded and said, "So this time, the army must be serious and ruthless. We must completely clean the gentry on the territory of the army, so that they will never have a chance to turn over."

Yang Tinglin was so shocked that he couldn't even close his mouth. He didn't expect Li Si would have such a big change.

He just recognized the importance of the gentry and landlord class, and suddenly he had to take action against him, which always made Yang Tinglin at a loss.
