Yangzhou is a sensation!

Jiangnan Shilin was shaken!

Gu Wei, a scholar in white, wants to have a debate with Yangzhou Shilin about the tax system reform implemented by the imperial court.

Alone, single-handedly picking up the entire Yangzhou and even Jiangnan readers.

The imperial court implemented the tax system reform in Yangzhou, which had long spread throughout the city of Yangzhou, and the scholars discussed a lot in the tea liao Qinglou, and even the peddlers and pawns on the street knew that there was a majority of opposition to this matter, and there was very little support.

"Compete with the people for profit! The country will not be a country!"

"Fishing with all your might!"

This is still good, and the more intense will be aimed at the emperor.

"The emperor's move is to send troops outside the Saiwai, what do those Hu people outside the Saiwai have to do with us, this is a reckless force!"

"The scholar clan is the cornerstone of the country, and the emperor is the foundation of self-determination!"

............

All of a sudden, Yangzhou and even Jiangnan Shilin were in turmoil, and countless scholars rushed to Yangzhou from all over the country, ready to argue with Gu Wei, and even some eager scholars couldn't wait for ten days later, and couldn't wait to rush to the Qincha camp, ready to argue with Gu Wei, but were persuaded to retreat by the soldiers guarding the gate of the camp.

For Shilin, Gu Wei's announcement is a challenge, and for those gate valve families, this announcement is a declaration of war, and the simplest judgment is that after ten days, the tax system reform will be fully launched.

"This is to deceive me, there is no one in Jiangnan!" Lu Qiao looked at the scholars gathered at the gate of the academy and said very contemptuously.

"Gu Wei, a scholar in white, is also a scholar in Jiangnan, and his virtuous nephew is exaggerating. An old man in a gray robe sitting at the table said lightly, the old man's face was clear, his hair was pure white, and he was simply tied together, and the old man drank tea very casually.

"Hmph, the salt tax reform, we have lost a total of millions of taels of silver, Ming Gong, if we succeed again this time, my Jiangnan Shi clan will be humiliated and damaged, and the foundation of my Great Jin Dynasty will also collapse. ”

Lu Qiao's tone contained anger, what he didn't say was that the salt tax reform was Yangzhou, Jiangnan, and the tax system reform was Jiangnan, the world was so big, why did the imperial court take Jiangnan as a knife! Isn't this just bullying no one in Jiangnan!

The old man's surname is Yu, called Yu Wen, the word Yunming, is now the head of the Yu family, this Yu Wen is sixty-two years old this year, Yu Wen has three sons, the eldest son Yu Xian, the second son Yu Qing, the third son Yu Su; 。

Yu Wen didn't have the slightest way to deal with his three sons, he scolded at home every day, and he could only handle the affairs at home.

"Can Sheng Huai withstand it this time?"

The middle-aged man sitting opposite Yu Wen said worriedly, the middle-aged man looked in his forties, wearing an embroidered brocade robe, and the middle-aged man's name was Zhang Xing, who was the head of the Zhang family, one of the three major gates in Yangzhou.

"If you can't stand it, you have to top it," Lu Qiao said coldly: "Brother Carrier, there is no need to worry about this. ”

Although the same Jiangnan first-class gate lord family, but the Zhang family and Lu Yu are different, these years, the Zhang family lacks the support of outstanding people, although there are several children in the state and county over the years, but there are almost no people who hold the position above the history of the assassin, so the Zhang family has a state of decline, all supported by the glory of the ancestors, and when the ancestors have eaten up the blessings, they will decline.

"Can the hard top withstand it?" Zhang Xing didn't seem to hear the disdain in Lu Qiao's tone, and there was still a strong worry in his expression.

"Carrier, don't worry, Sheng Huai knows how powerful this matter is. Yu Wen said lightly, and his tone changed again: "But he alone can't stop him, so at the meeting the day after tomorrow, we will support him." ”

Zhang Xing shook his head: "We can't stop it alone, alas, the emperor didn't care about anything in order to send troops to the outside world, and he didn't care about the policy of governing the country set by Taizu, as soon as this Gantang went, the emperor's intention to reorganize Shangshutai has become more and more obvious, Brother Xiping, I'm afraid the court will have to focus more." ”

Wang Ze drank tea leisurely, and said disapprerovitically: "Don't worry, Brother Zaibo, the court has already begun, and Pan Lian and the Queen Mother have been talked about." ”

"Pan Lian?" Zhang Xing shook his head slightly: "I'm afraid this person is of no great use except for collecting cash, otherwise, why didn't the salt tax innovation stop it." ”

"You are too pessimistic," Lu Qiao turned around and said: "Although Pan Chain is useless, but what about the Queen Mother, the emperor is still very filial to the Queen Mother." ”

Yu Wen got up and walked to the window, looked at the situation outside the academy, and said for a while: "The court has its own princes, we just need to do our own thing, will Mr. Yuanshan Xian, Mr. Jumu and Mr. Zhizhen arrive?"

"I have already sent a letter, and I received a reply yesterday, and both Mr. Juki and Mr. Nakashi agreed. Lu Qiao replied with certainty, Gu Wei wants to challenge Jiangnan Shilin, and they, the first-class scholars in Jiangnan, will naturally not stand idly by, not to mention that behind Jiangnan Academy is their support.

Lu Qiao sent a letter as soon as possible, inviting Mr. Jumu and Mr. Zhizhen to go south to participate in this debate.

"Mr. Wei Dianwei has also set off for the south, and it is estimated that he will arrive in five days. Yu Wen added, and then sighed with some regret.

Lu Qiao knew in his heart that Yu Wen's regret was there, these people were all from the north, and there was no Jiangnan literati.

Wei Dian is famous all over the world, originally the imperial history of Lingcheng, for the land inventory of Chen State, led the public to knock on the que, was dismissed and imprisoned, but soon released under the intercession of the ministers, and then returned to Yingchuan, where he taught at Yingchuan Academy.

After Gu Wei's announcement was issued, Yu Wen sent a letter to Yingchuan and asked Wei Dian to go south, Wei Dian agreed without hesitation, and replied that he could get up and go south.

However, Yangzhou is also prosperous in the south of the Yangtze River, and the heads of the academies are also people who have studied the Taoist classics for many years, plus the Jumu Zhizhen and Wei Dian who rushed over, this lineup is strong enough to deal with Gu Wei.

"The magistrate below...."Zhang Xingzheng said, and someone knocked on the door outside.

"Sir!"

"Come in. Lu Qiao was not displeased, if he dared to knock on the door at this time, something must have happened, otherwise that kid would be impatient.

The young man in the earth-colored suit walked in quickly, came to Lu Qiao's side, and handed a rolled-up piece of paper to him, Lu Qiao reached out and took it, and frowned after looking at it.

"What's wrong?" Zhang Ying asked when he saw this.

Lu Qiao spread the paper on the table, and then asked the young man in the strong suit, "Where did this come from?"

"It was sent by Guo Song. ”

Lu Qiao nodded slightly, didn't ask again, the young man in the power suit turned around and withdrew, and the three of Yuwen and Wang Ze got together and looked at the paper.

This is a notice of the Qin Mission, to be precise, it is a recruitment list, the recruitment list issued by the Qin Mission, the recruitment list clearly tells all the scholars in Yangzhou, now the imperial court will implement the tax system innovation in Yangzhou, the new tax system will benefit the country and the people, in order to implement the new tax system, the Qin Messenger Camp recruits the wise men who support the new tax system, these wise men will receive 20 days of new tax system opinions, after understanding the new tax system, they will be sent to the counties of Yangzhou County, preach and implement the new tax system.

After a few people finished reading it, Zhang Ying shook his head slightly, Yu Wen frowned slightly, and his expression was a little confused.

"Amazing!" Wang Ze broke the silence and sighed, his expression very solemn.

Since the last time Meiyuan met with Liu Han, he went to Wu County, and he wanted to find a chance to fight with Liu Han, but he didn't wait for Liu Han to arrive, and then he figured out that Liu Han mostly hid in that stable realm, and the realm was unstable, so he would not appear.

This made him very disappointed, but he concluded that Liu Han would definitely go to Wu County, so he made some arrangements in Wu County and prepared to wait for the rabbit, but the old ancestor sent him a letter to rush to Yangzhou.

In the letter, the ancestor told him to go to Yangzhou to pay attention to the reform of the tax system, and if necessary, to help the Lu family.

Wang Ze is in Yangzhou, and he is not the only one in the Wang family in Yangzhou.

"Virtuous nephew, what does this mean?" asked Yu Wen.

Wang Ze walked to the window and looked at those scholars, he had taught in several academies, and he was too familiar with these young scholars, hot-blooded and credulous.

"The scholarly spirit, the ambition and pride, unfortunately, the ambition will fade, the pride will be indifferent, and the blood will be cold, but how many of these people are in support of Gu Wei and how many are opposed, Gu Wei is very powerful, on the one hand, he gathers the people who support him among the scholars, and this has two effects.

Lu Qiyu and Han Zhang had already alarmed him, and he was worried that there would be changes in the five counties of Yangzhou, and these scholars were also prepared by him for the contingencies. ”

"This Gu Wei can be described as bold," Lu Qiao snorted softly: "How can he requisition the county order." ”

He is now in charge of Yangzhou County and has the power to levy county orders. Wang Ze reminded in a very light tone.

Lu Qiao and Zhang Ying were stunned for a moment, Yu Wen smiled, and shook his head lightly: "Lu Qi, they just gave a warning, the county orders of the five counties below, hehe, we didn't want them to resign at all." ”

Yu Wen's tone was very calm, but he had the confidence to control everything, as if to say that it was up to him to decide whether the five county orders would resign or not.

But Wang Ze knew that Yu Wen did have this power, and the five county orders below were all the children or protégés of these three families, and whether they resigned or not was indeed just a matter of their words.

"That's right, as the saying goes, the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, this county official is the current manager, no matter how Gu Wei tosses in Yangzhou, in the end, those county officials will be implemented, and if you master this level, we want Gu Wei to live if he is born, and if he dies, he will die. ”

Wang Ze's tone was very relaxed, this was the greatest strength of the Great Jin Shi clan, the Shi clan gate lords controlled the grassroots positions of the imperial court, and if the imperial court decrees were to be implemented smoothly, they must be relied on.

After returning to Yangzhou, Wang Ze slowly understood what his eldest brother meant, and the purpose of going to Yangzhou was to observe Yangzhou's tax system innovation, understand and understand this tax system innovation, and also understand why the scholar clan is the pillar of the Great Jin Dynasty.

The pillar is broken, and the sky will fall!

The sky is tilted, and the people are bitter!
