Does Qian Qianyi still have a choice? Without. If you don't listen to Chen Yue's words, then the selection of officials in Jiangsu and Zhejiang doesn't know how much it will delay, and it will be even more difficult to go home to produce farmland.

In fact, after the recovery of Suzhou, Qian Qianyi sent people back to Changshu to receive the family property, and the people sent back to Changshu were shocked to find that the Qian family's house was stationed with troops, shops and other industries were also garrisoned, and the fields belonging to the Qian family were not empty, and many farmers were busy in the fields, and they did not pay attention to the returned Qian family's stewards.

The steward of the Qian family went to negotiate with the garrison officers and asked for the return of his house shop, but he was flatly refused. The officer said that the return had to go through the government, and that he was only ordered to be stationed and had no right to decide on the matter.

When the steward put on the shelf of the old man in the court, he was thrown out of the mansion by order of the officer, which caused people on the street to laugh at him.

When the steward took people back to Nanjing and learned what had happened, Qian Qianyi sighed and knew that it was not easy to go home and give birth. Knowing that if it weren't for the order of Chen Yue, the king of Qi, how could the local officers dare to be rude to the families of the cabinet scholars?

Therefore, as soon as Chen Yue returned to Nanjing, Qian Qianyi took active action, trying to push the imperial court to select officials to serve in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and other prefectures and counties that had just been recovered from the rebels.

However, President Chen Yue also took office, and in the face of many officials asking for the selection of officials, the presidential palace has always turned a deaf ear and ignored it at all.

After talking with Chen Yue today, Qian Qianyi realized that it was not that Chen Yue was unwilling to select officials, but that he wanted to use them as a condition to force himself and the officials of the Donglin family from the southeast to compromise.

If you agree to the establishment of a Ministry of Commerce to collect commercial taxes on a large scale, if you do not agree, the matter of appointing officials is far away.

And after a year and a half, the house shop workshop still doesn't know what it will become, and the land under his own name will be occupied, and it will be more troublesome to get back.

was forced to this, Qian Qianyi had no choice but to compromise.

"Mu Zhai Gong, the ugly words came to the front, the purpose of this king is to cancel the privileges of the gentry, in order to increase the income of the court, this matter is not negotiable.

In fact, if you think about it from another angle, even if the gentry are deprived of their privileges, they are still local upper-class figures, and they are inextricably linked with the government. The removal of privileges is just the loss of some property, but it does not prevent him from continuing to make money, and his status is still high.

Mu Zhai Gong, only when the income of the imperial court goes up, the Ming Dynasty will have the money to suppress the rebellion of the exiles, and the ability to suppress the Siyi, and the gentry will have a better environment for making money.

The ambition of you scholars has always been to rule the country and level the world, so you can't only have a home and no country in your heart! ”

Chen Yue's earnest admonition made Qian Qianyi very embarrassed, what else could he say? The truth is on the other side. No matter how strong it is, it is just a clever argument, you can argue with the emperor skillfully, you can prevaricate with the people, if you do this to Chen Yue, you will only get a board!

"The president's painstaking subordinates understand, the president can rest assured, I will definitely persuade the courtiers to support the president's measures when I go back." Qian Qianyi assured.

Chen Yue nodded with satisfaction: "That's very good." All parts of Jiangsu and Zhejiang have been recovered, and it is not a matter if there is no government to govern for a long time, so this king will inform the Government Council and ask them to formulate a method to select a group of officials to serve in various places as soon as possible. ”

Since Qian Qianyi is on the way, Chen Yue doesn't mind reciprocating with peach.

Qian Qianyi left the presidential palace and returned to his own mansion, secretly summoning the Donglin Party officials who were confidants to convey Chen Yue's words.

After hearing this, some officials immediately became angry.

"Since the founding of the dynasty, there has been no business registration, what kind of business department has been established without business registration? The president's move is clearly a clever snatch and a competition for the people's profits! ”

"That is, isn't the imperial court not collecting commercial taxes, and there are still few banknotes in various places? Originally, it was not easy for the people to do business, there were local officials who needed to take care of it, and the transportation had to be subject to the commission of the banknotes. ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, King Qi is clearly not going to let us have a good time. Everyone thinks about it, who doesn't have a store industry, if we follow this method, what money will we make from the workshop store we worked so hard to create?

If no one is willing to do business, and there is no circulation of goods, where will the goods that each family needs buy from? As the saying goes, the country is not rich without business, and King Qi's move is definitely perverse! ”

When the officials were discussing, Qian Qianyi only observed silently, but he could see that the most angry were the Donglin Party officials in Yingtianfu and Liangguanghuguang and Jianghuai. As for the officials in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, most of them chose to remain silent.

Everyone has their own interests and their own little abacus. Compared with the benefits lost in the future, returning to the family property as soon as possible is the most important thing for officials born in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

People's hearts are really scattered! Looking at the performance of the officials, Qian Qianyi sighed again in his heart. At this moment, he was very envious of Shi Kefa, who could stay out of the matter.

As soon as Shi Kefa, who was also a member of the Donglin Party, returned to Nanjing from Jiujiang, he closed his door and thanked no one, so he was able to stay out of the matter. What a prescient sight! As for myself, there are too many interests involved, and it is impossible to stay out of it.

Just when Qian Qianyi was pondering, a quarrel suddenly broke out, and an official from Zhejiang said that it was not impossible to set up a Ministry of Commerce, that is, to pay more taxes and not delay doing business to make money. As soon as his words came out, he was besieged and scolded by several Jiangbei officials. Seeing this situation, the official's fellow villagers and friends were not happy anymore, and stepped forward to join the quarrel, and the situation suddenly became chaotic.

"If you read the books of the sages hard, you have the fame of being a jinshi, and you are like a shrew scolding the street, but you are not ashamed?" Qian Qianyi was furious and pointed at these people who were trembling.

"Shepherd's atonement." Seeing that he was angry, the officials could only stop arguing.

"Hmph, the Tao is not the same." An official from Jiangbei confessed to Qian Qianyi and walked away. And more officials followed.

"Mu Zhaigong, I'll take my leave." The officials from Jiangsu and Zhejiang also left in disagreement.

"President, your goal has been accomplished!" After everyone dispersed, Qian Qianyi let out a long sigh. He knew that the Donglin Party had split, and from now on, the CCP would not attack and retreat. The disunited civilian forces will no longer be Chen Yue's opponents. The days of nobility and martial arts will no longer exist!
