Chapter 424

"Jiandou, I heard that your Tianxiong soldiers opened the city gate the night before yesterday in order to escape for their lives. As a result, the people rushed out of the city and caused a stampede. Two people were trampled to death and more than 200 people were injured. If it hadn't been for the Liao soldiers.

If we are on the sidelines to maintain order, the casualties will still be high." Sitting in Lu Xiangsheng's study, Zhang Huangyan felt more energetic than sitting in his own study.

Lu Xiangsheng sat in the lower seat without saying a word. He really had nothing to say. Those bastards under his command were really shameless. No matter how big the earthquake was, I had never heard of the city wall collapsing. It was just under the tower.

, you are afraid of something.

"Jiandou, you don't want the imperial court to dismiss you, do you? It's easy for you to hang up and leave alone, but what about your powerful soldiers? Guanzhong is now occupied by the Tatars, and they can't go back.

You know better than me."

"Wansheng is in a dilemma now, please ask senior...!" Lu Xiangsheng really had nothing to say. He had this idea several times, but he couldn't do it when he thought of the three thousand heavenly soldiers. Those in higher positions, especially those with a sense of responsibility

In fact, it is not easy at all for the superiors.

"Since you call me Senior, I will say a few words to you as Senior Hanlin.

This time the students are making trouble, and everyone on both sides of you has seen it and understood it. After all, this is a job that offends people. Not many people have the courage to dare to offend the scholars in the world. You do things on the fence and want to be wise and protect yourself.

But the question is, can you keep your body?"

"Uh...! This...!"

"The rebels beat your Tianxiong soldiers to death, so your soldiers will naturally take revenge. In the streets these days, your soldiers often beat up those soldiers and rebels. Those soldiers are already saying that you, Lu Xiangsheng, are the accomplices of tigers. Now you just need to

Hang up your crown and leave, you will find that there is no place for you in the whole world. Think about it, you still have soldiers in your hands now." Zhang Huangyan picked up the tea bowl and kept scraping away the non-existent tea foam with the cup lid.

Lu Xiangsheng had nothing to say, and neither did Liang Pu and Kou Conghua. They couldn't say anything, because everything Zhang Huangyan said was true!

Because the rioters beat the Tianxiong soldiers to death, the Tianxiong soldiers were particularly ruthless these days. Many people were beaten by these Tianxiong soldiers. Some even had their hands and feet broken!

The appearance of the Tianxiong soldiers is different from that of the Liao army. The Liao soldiers all have short hair. However, the Tianxiong soldiers all have long hair. People in Jinan can easily tell who is the Tianxiong soldier and who is the Liao army, even if they are yearning for the Liao army.

Even if you push it, you can't push it through.

"Mr. Zhang, but now the imperial court is against the scholars all over the world. Do you think this can last long? Xiao He governed 3,000 laws, but in the end they were not enforced by officials? The scholar-bureaucrats have always shared the world with the royal family, but now the imperial court has offended the world.

Of all the scholar-bureaucrats in the world, who can help the imperial court govern the world?" Lu Xiangsheng expressed the deepest worries in his heart.

The opponent was too powerful, so powerful that Lu Xiangsheng could not see any hope of winning.

"Ancestors of the Ming Dynasty! Officials and gentry do not pay for food, and officials and gentry should not do errands. This book is to take care of scholars and encourage scholars to obtain meritorious service and serve the country. Emperor Hongwu did nothing wrong back then!

But look, what have the scholar-bureaucrats who have come out of the scholar-officials done over the past two hundred years? The parties are united and opposed, there are parties within the government, there are factions within the parties, and there are relations within the factions. There is chaos, corruption, and entanglement. Over the past few decades,

The constant internal fighting has killed many loyal people. I am also a scholar, but I am not ashamed to associate with them.

If the Ming Dynasty continues to let these people take charge, the Ming Dynasty will be destroyed. Millions of people will die! At that time, how will we see our ancestors in the sky and our ancestors in the land behind us?"

Lu Xiangsheng had nothing to say. Over the past two hundred years, party disputes have indeed been constant. In order to compete for the highest power, everyone launched the ugliest life-and-death struggle. Some people say that officialdom is like a group of monkeys climbing a tree, pulling off the top, left and right.

Those on both sides have to keep kicking their feet.

Corruption in government is rampant. No one is doing it for the sake of the family and the country, but everyone is doing it for their own pockets and future generations.

This is a group of people without faith, or simply rights-based animals. Once they gain rights, they will desperately use their rights to benefit themselves. What hope does such a country and such a nation have?

"Officials and gentry all pay taxes and serve as errands. This is the most basic fairness in the world. Don't always show taxes on the common people. Scholars are actually extremely rich. If the court then scrapes oil from the common people to feed the scholars, the world will be a mess.

It would be even more unfair.

The poor will always be poor, and the scholars will always be special. Natural selection will lead to high positions, and those with ability will naturally occupy them. Officials and gentry will pay for their food and work as errands. This is just the beginning. There will be many reforms in the future, such as sharing the land with each other, such as currency

Restructure. These imperial courts have plans! Jiandou, your talents and learning abilities are among the best.

I came here today to talk to you so much because I don’t want to bury your talent.

If you go to Nanjing, it would be good to work as an official. But are you really sure that you are willing to stay in the conflicting officialdom in Jiangnan? I suggest you stay, for the sake of your Tianxiong soldiers, and to show off your talents in life.

Ambition in mind.

Look at Jinan City, it has become like this in just a few years. The workers have factories to work in and get paid, and the farmers have potatoes, corn, sweet potatoes and other things in the fields. It can be said that there is no need to worry about hunger in the world! Don’t you want to see this?

By then, the whole world of Ming Dynasty will become like Jinan?

Jiandou! This is your last chance, and it is also the last chance for Tianxiong soldiers. Think carefully, don’t mislead others or yourself." After Zhang Huangyan finished speaking, he squatted down the tea cup on the table, and resigned before Lu Xiangsheng could say anything.

came out.

Lu Xiangsheng just sat there blankly, not saying a word. What to say? Nothing to say!

In a room inside the government office, Li Yongfang looked at the obese Fatty Li. He never imagined that the think tank who instigated the people to unrest was such a guy. Even the nuns were not spared. I really didn't know what this guy was thinking.

"Fat Li, do you know where this place is?" The executioner's thug held a whip and had a palm-wide patch of heart-protecting hair on his chest. He looked at Fat Li who was skinned like a lamb!

A good man never suffers immediate losses. Facts have proved that Fatty Li is an out-and-out good man.

"Guan Ye! I said, I will tell you everything. Whatever you ask, I will tell you what I said?"

The thugs were stunned, and even Li Yongfang was stunned. Under normal circumstances, the person who was executed had to act as a tough guy. At least he didn't know how to hurt the gangster unless the whip hit him. It was really a headache for him to confess so happily.

See you once.

"What is that...? Uh...! Where are you from!" Li Yongfang was not mentally prepared. This question was completely based on his years of interrogation instincts. At least he asked it without showing any timidity.

"The villain's ancestral home is Qinghe County, Shandong Province. When he was young, his family moved to Yanggu County, Shandong Province. My grandfather's generation did some business and bought a large piece of land in Yanggu County. My family lived on renting from tenants, and now the official family

The officials and the gentry must both pay their taxes and work as errands. A small family has to pay a lot of taxes, so I just lost my mind for a moment and did it... made such an expression."

In order to gain a chance to confess and be given leniency, Fatty Li told the truth in a bamboo tube.

"Who is the instigator when you go to the streets to agitate the people?" After hearing Fatty Li's motive for committing the crime, Li Yongfang finally remembered what he wanted to ask.

"Xuezheng Wu Changshi! It is said that he got the advice of Jinling Zhou's chief minister, and then encouraged the students to cause trouble. He told me that he wanted me to lead the troublemakers, and also said that once things happened, he would arrange for me to run away to

Go to Jinling. What else can I say? When I get to Jinling, I will do it for the villain official.

Sir! Everything the villain said is true! Please spare me, the villain."

Li Yongfang's three views were refreshed. He really didn't expect that the interrogation would go so smoothly. He originally thought that there are hard-core scholars among them, and hoped that he would not meet such a hard-nosed person. But the person in front of him was simply a softie.

A total softie!

So much so that Li Yongfang had some doubts as to whether what he said was true. Could it be that he was trying to escape and bite the academic administrator Wu Changshi? You must know that Wu Changshi, as an academic administrator in Shandong, was the highest official in charge of education in Shandong. Want to

It's not that easy to move him.

"Are you telling the truth?"

"Of course it's true. How dare I deceive you, my lord? I'm willing to confront Wu Changshi! If I say anything false, I'll be struck by lightning." Fatty Li swore pointing to the sky.

"Detention!" At this point, veteran interrogator Li Yongfang didn't know how to continue the interrogation.

Li Xiao was walking on the streets of Jinan. The turmoil in the past few days coupled with such an earthquake. The market has become much depressed. Buyers and sellers have closed down one after another. Less than 10% of the businesses are open for business.

"This year's commercial tax will definitely be affected. Jinan is the capital of Shandong Province. It is also a distribution center for materials. Merchants from all over Shandong and even those from other provinces come to Jinan to get goods. It has been two months now and there have been no normal shipments.

"Ai Husheng is next to Li Xiao and is very worried about this year's income.

Li Xiao brought him here just to help find money. Now that his job is being greatly hindered, Ai Husheng will definitely complain.

"The impact will not last long. After all, everyone wants to live a good life. The determination of the people to make a fortune has never been shaken. As long as you give these citizens the right amount of sunshine and water, they will thrive like saplings. Of course,

The prerequisite is to feed their bellies.

Nowadays, the yields of potatoes, corn, and sweet potatoes are very high. The annual yield of one acre of land is enough to feed Shandong people for a year. Feeding their bellies is simply too trivial."

The two people talked and strolled into a noodle shop that was still open.

"Ma's Noodles!" Li Xiao read the four big characters on the door of the noodle shop.

"This Ma's noodles are a specialty in Jinan Prefecture. The taste is very authentic. I've been here once before." Ai Husheng said as he led Li Xiao and Shunzi to the seats by the window.

The guards behind them followed in, and the originally empty shop was immediately filled with people. There were two noodle guys inside, who were a little stunned by the scene. They didn't understand that just eating noodles would require such a big battle?

The shopkeeper's hands were quick and he saw that all the Liao soldiers who came in were short-haired Liao soldiers. The leader looked graceful and handsome, and judging from the appearance of the two people around him, this young man was actually their leader.

"Guest sir! This small shop sells all kinds of noodle soups. If you don't mind, you can eat and drink in this small shop. All the expenses will be paid by me." The shopkeeper seemed to be a smart person at first glance, and he was about two meters away.

He stopped and bowed deeply to Li Xiao. Li Xiao didn't let him get up, but this guy just kept pouting like that.

"I can't eat your treat. How can you keep asking for other people's food? Shopkeeper, have Liao soldiers come to your place to eat for free?" Seeing the shopkeeper's appearance when he saw the Liao soldiers, Li Xiao wondered if it was...

His own subordinates also have poor military discipline.

"No! The Liao soldiers are the most particular about things there. Besides, the Liao soldiers have a lot of money, and they use cash to eat and buy things. They follow Marshal Li, who is a popular and popular drinker. "Uh...

!I’m going to buy a train ticket.”

"Boss, a stack of soy sauce beef and three large bowls of noodles. All of them must be fine! Also serve some seasonal side dishes!" As soon as Li Xiao finished speaking, Ai Husheng ordered the dishes to be served.

Not to mention, the occupancy rate of the small restaurant is quite high. After a while, the noodle restaurant was crowded with people coming to eat noodles. The guards were sitting on the left and right sides of Li Xiao, and Shunzi was extremely nervous. What if it really happened?

When I see you and complain to you, what can you do?

"Have you heard? Chen An, the host of Jixiang Temple, gave birth to a corpse."

"How could I not have heard of such an exciting thing! I have heard of it! This time I want to clean up the people who spent all their time doing things in the past few years and were paid. People like you and me just have a bowl here.

Noodles. Those people earn all their money from the taxes we pay. We can’t continue like this. Seeing them wasting the government’s money and food makes me feel bad. It’s better to raise a dog to feed these bastards.”

"What are you talking about? I heard that the director of Miaoxiang Temple was naked when he died. My uncle's uncle's third brother-in-law's uncle is Fu Zuo. He saw it with his own eyes when he arrived at the scene.

Is it fake?"

"Real or false!" Someone exclaimed in disbelief.

"Others don't know, but you should know if you set up a stall in front of Jixiang Temple all day long. Which of those nuns is clean? If true, how ugly can they be?"

ps: I have finished writing about the Jinan Incident. In fact, the original manuscript is very different from this one. Lao Long once wanted to make this story more profound and more beautiful. But because of well-known reasons, I cannot and dare not write it.

Post what you write on the Internet.

The direct consequence of this is that the story this time is not exciting at all, and it does not use the incident to tell the definition of maintaining stability. Lao Long here asks all readers to be tolerant. After all, Lao Long is just a person who makes a living by coding.
