Chapter 812: Clean Jiangnan
"Last year, the Eight Great Qian Zhuang donated hundreds of thousands of taels to your academy, what do you want to say?"
In front of Liu Chun was an old Confucian, his beard was white, but his eyes were very bright, he looked at Liu Chun with disdain, and indifferently spit out two words: "People's heart!" ”
Although the imperial court believed your nonsense, promoted science, and suppressed Confucianism, it didn't matter...... For more than 2,000 years, Confucianism has encountered many crises.
In the past, Legalism prevailed, and Huang Laozhi's school occupied the court, and later, Buddhism came to the west, disturbing the Taoist system...... But the result? These messy learnings have been suppressed, and the world is still the world of Confucianism, and the way of Confucius and Mencius is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people!
"They are willing to donate money and are willing to promote righteousness...... Liu Chun, do you really want to even care about people's hearts? You're too domineering! ”
Liu Chun laughed, "I don't care about people's hearts, but I want to care about the direction of this money!" Ai Guben, don't you know that the money bank donated money to you to avoid paying taxes? ”
"What?" The old Ai Guben was taken aback, he never imagined that there would be such a relationship.
"You talk nonsense!"
The old man's hair was all over the place, and he shouted angrily: "Liu Chun, you are fabricating accusations, framing innocents, you are despicable!" ”
"Hahaha!" Liu Chun sneered disdainfully, "Ai Guben, even if I frame you, can you tell clearly, why does a academy, with only a few hundred students, accept hundreds of thousands of donations every year?" Where is your money spent? ”
"I, I only have use, I don't need you to care!"
Liu Chun sneered, "In the Ming Dynasty, there is no place outside the law...... Especially the major events related to tax payment are bigger than the sky! You founded a college, colluded with some people to give lectures, openly discussed learning, opposed the change of the law, and secretly, engaged in collusion with businessmen to avoid taxes for them, this is your right way? What do you call the human heart? ”
"You, you!" Ebengu retorted frantically, shaking his pale head and scolding.
But Liu Chun didn't bother to listen.
According to Yoo Chun's thoughts, he never wanted to come to this point. But he couldn't think of a better way.
Many people would rather die than make a change.
Businessmen colluded with officials, co-opted Confucians, and controlled public opinion...... In this way, they cooperate with each other and can easily grab wealth and do whatever they want.
Relying on this means, although it is possible to quickly accumulate wealth, not only does it not do any good to the world, but it also corrodes the bureaucratic system, reverses black and white, and makes a mess in Jiangnan.
Therefore, ambitious wealthy businessmen like the Sanyi Society, officials and magnates who colluded with them, and Confucian scholars who were willing to wave their flags and shout for them, newspapers, all became the targets of the cleanup.
Maybe some of them were wronged, but Yoo Chun was no longer ready to give them a chance.
Dust to dust, dust to dust, these dregs of the old era should be swept into the garbage heap!
……
The people of Yingtian have one more opportunity to watch the excitement.
People are being put to death every day, and these people are all famous and big. Maybe for Liu Chun, they can't be smaller, but in the eyes of ordinary people, these people are the sky!
Among the royal family, the county lord of Qingcheng, as well as her two sons, were sentenced to be executed because of collusion with businessmen, greed for money, and many evil deeds.
Zhu Di showed kindness and gave death to the county lord of Qingcheng, but her two sons could not escape this knife.
On the very day they were killed, dozens of ragged civilians arrived, all staring at the Dharma field and at the two slain people.
The moment their heads hit the ground, the people let out a thunderous cheer!
They are the people who were allocated land in Juntian, and then they were taken away by the family of the county lord of Qingcheng, who tried their best to take away the land...... Extortion, extortion, false accusations, and even ripping open the embankment of a river, flooding a village, killing more than 200 people!
A county lord's mansion, the sins are too numerous to read!
"The court is wise, long live my emperor!"
The cheers of the people came and went.
At the same time, newspapers everywhere also moved, and they followed the instructions of the imperial court to spread all this that happened in Yingtian to all places.
This time the newspaper content is no longer confusing, nor is it confusing black and white, and it is terrifying...... The reasons for the execution of these people were largely reported objectively and impartially.
There are those who are greedy for ink and harm the people, and there are also those who hoard and buy officials...... The Jin merchants, salt merchants, and many maritime merchants with the Sanyi Society as the core could not escape the catastrophe.
Among all the characters, the most noteworthy is a guy named Fang Sheng.
Who is this sacred?
Is it worth the big guys so much care?
His status is not high, and he is not an official, he studied in his early years, and he also entered the Guozijian, but unfortunately, he did not wait for the quota, he could not be an official, he was trapped in the capital, he spent all his savings, he was poor, and he was almost in a desperate situation.
But then Fang Sheng's experience seemed to be open.
He suddenly got the money, suddenly opened a green building, and suddenly had a large group of people under his command...... After twenty years of hard work, he became the biggest boss of Qinhuaihe.
No one knows how much money he has, no one knows how many Qinglou women he controls, and no one knows how many powerful people he has befriended...... From the Hongwu Dynasty, to the Jianwen Dynasty, and then to the Yongle Dynasty.
He is standing firm, although he has encountered crises in the middle, but he has survived, and the business is getting bigger and bigger, such a character, in the hearts of the people, is a fairy.
When he was executed, the entire Qinglou of the Qinhuai River was alarmed.
Countless women came to watch the death of this big man with clear faces and spotless eyes.
They didn't even blink an eyelid, they just watched.
Fang Sheng, who is usually slender and full of bookishness, is sloppy and filthy at the moment, and his hair and beard are still white. He fell to his knees cowardly, limp and limp, worse than a mess of mud.
He looked around blankly, hoping someone would save him.
But the often knife-left scene in the drama did not happen to him.
Accompanied by the ghost head knife, his human head flew out, and blood splattered three feet!
This pool of blood completely shocked everyone.
For a long time, in the Central Plains, there have always been temples and rivers and lakes.
Some people say that the imperial power does not go to the countryside, but in fact, this statement is not accurate.
There are many places where the imperial power can't go.
For example, some guilds have their own set of rules, and the court can't control them...... For example, many commercial shops recruit apprentices, and there are clear rules that the master beats you, scolds you, can't stand it, dies yourself, or encounters an accident, and the master is not responsible.
This set of rules also applies to some charlatans.
The other is the Qinglou, which is not accessible to the imperial court.
The fact that the imperial court cannot touch it does not mean that there is no oppression and no darkness...... On the contrary, it is all dirt and dirt, terrible to the extreme, eating people alive!
A big boss of Qinglou Qinhuaihe was executed, and Yingtian's biggest hooligan leader was beheaded.
It turns out that there really is a power that can clean up these debris...... Although I dare not say that the world is bright, there is no injustice or injustice...... But at least someone is in charge of these things.
For thousands of years, what no one dared to touch, someone dealt with.
The imperial court began to uphold justice, and when things happened, the imperial court would become everyone's hope...... That alone is already amazing.
At the beginning of Zhu Di's ascension to the throne, he made drastic moves and dealt with chaotic forces.
At the beginning of Liu Chun's tenure at the helm of Jinyiwei, he also rectified the ...... But compared to this time, the scale and intensity are much smaller.
And this time it really touched the core, touching areas that no one had touched before...... Merchants, Confucianists, celebrities from all walks of life, and even temples were cleaned up.
Liu Chun gave Zhu Di a list of 1,000 people, but in fact, the number of people executed by Liu Chun exceeded 5,000!
Not only Yingtian, but also Suzhou, Songjiang, Zhenjiang, Hangzhou, Yangzhou, Taizhou, Huai'an, and Fengyang, the cleaning is like a huge typhoon, sweeping and whistling.
After the wind swept away, it left a white expanse of land, clean!
"Master, your old man has finally used the thunderbolt method, and the disciple is simply thrown to the ground!"
Zhu Gaosui was enthusiastic and waved his arms excitedly...... These days, he has also made a lot of efforts, and almost every day, Zhu Gaosui is in a state of excitement.
In the process, some people pleaded with him, and some people tried to assassinate Zhu Gaosui, but all of them were nothing.
"The power of the Jin merchants in Jiangnan, as well as the Hui merchants, the maritime merchants, the Suzhou merchants, and the salt merchants, were all hit hard...... It's time for the traditional merchant gangs to come to an end. ”
Zhu Gaosui gritted his teeth, he finally figured out what he wanted, or where he was always awkward in the past.
"Master, I have figured out how to handle the case during this time...... In the past, my eldest brother, second brother, and even my father, they looked down on what I did, and thought that I was just greedy for money and profit...... In fact, I was killed by these people, I am different from them, I am a serious industrialist! I made a fortune by creating wealth, and I am promoting the progress of the Ming Dynasty! ”
Liu Chun chuckled, Zhu Gaosui is really good at putting gold on his face!
Seeing that the master was disdainful, Zhu Gaosui was even more unconvinced, "Master, I have already bought 300,000 Japanese Zhuangding from the King of Qi...... Guess what I'm going to do? ”
