Ming Zuo

Chapter 698 Inferiority [hala madrid! ! ! ! 】

For Fang Yuegong's plan, other officials of Songjiang Mansion were not optimistic.

In fact, everyone is very clear about the current situation of Songjiang Mansion.

Don't look at the many people complaining about grievances in the government office today, but compared with the real situation, these people are just a drop in the ocean.

If you really want to make a fuss, the consequences will be unpredictable.

But Fang Yuegong has always been a tough and stubborn person, and he knows that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

"Shandong is thousands of miles away, beyond reach. If you don't take this opportunity to cut off the source of the chaos in Songjiang Mansion, and connect the two sides into one in the future, then you and I will die without a place to die."

Fang Yuegong stood up and bowed to all the officials.

"Everyone, I have read poetry and books and practiced the holy way. How can I watch Zhengshuo of the Ming Dynasty being invaded by the younger generation? The north is full of troubles and delays. If the south of the Yangtze River cannot be stabilized, the Ming Dynasty will be in danger."

When everyone heard this, they all lamented.

In essence, they were actually on the same side as Fang Yuegong.

After all, they are all scholars, disciples of Confucius and Mencius, and all have vested interests. Of course, they don't want to lose their inherent benefits.

But they are the local officials of Songjiang Prefecture, and they are very familiar with the local situation, and even many people's homes are involved in new industries.

This dilemma makes many people choose to turn a blind eye.

This is what Fang Yuegong wanted.

After all, he is the prefect of Songjiang, with great power in his hands.As long as other officials are not obstinately opposed, then he can do his best.

"Come on, let's invite all the country gentlemen."

Fang Yuegong decided to give courtesy first and then soldiers.

If the Xu family, Pan family, Qu family, etc. choose to submit, then he does not have to choose violence.

If these country gentry and businessmen don't back down, Fang Yuegong couldn't help clenching his fists.

The outside world is turbulent, so Xu Ji and others have already learned about it.

Just as Fang Yuegong was planning to deal with them, all the families in Xu's mansion also got together and began to discuss countermeasures.

"It seems that the Fang Zhifu is not a good person, we must be careful."

After all, Pan Yunlong was an official and knew the official situation best, so he was frowning.

One shareholder was apprehensive.

"In the final analysis, we have overdone it and killed people. I don't think it's better if we spend some money. As long as we can eliminate the evil and do business well, everything will be fine."

Xu Erjue was very annoyed when he heard this.

"Is this a matter of money? Now it's a matter of our life and death, so we must investigate."

Qu Yin is still a little naive.

"Now that Songjiang is all supported by us, that magistrate really dares to risk the world's disgrace and take risks?"

All the shareholders were discussing for a while, and they felt that the government did not dare to go too far.

This scene made Xu Erjue worried.

"Father, uncles, how can you trust your life and death to others now? If that Fang Zhifu's butcher knife is held high, and we are unprepared, will we really be killed by him so that blood flows into rivers and our great foundation is destroyed? once?"

Some people don't believe it.

"He dares to kill, isn't he afraid of impeachment?"

This time it was actually Pan Xiaona who came forward.

"Uncle Zhang, you have also read the commander's article. Is it still unclear? We have long been enemies and not friends with this court, and it is difficult to coexist. The landlord class would like us businessmen to usurp their interests? As long as Given the chance, their counterattack must be the cruelest. From my nephew's point of view, this prefect probably set up a grand banquet."

The firm attitude of the two young people finally made everyone nervous.

"How about that?"

"The government has soldiers and knives in their hands. If we really want to do something, how can we resist?"

Xu Erjue became the protagonist at the meeting today.

"No matter what, we can't just kill each other. The only way to be righteous is to fight to the death."

Nor is he just talking empty words.

"Nowadays in Songjiang, more than seven out of ten people rely on our new textile technology to make a living. The big guys live a prosperous life relying on the new textile technology. If the government does this, it is tantamount to smashing everyone's jobs. My nephew, in my humble opinion, We have to unite all of us, speak out loudly, and rely on the strength of the big guy to fight against the government. Even if the government wants to fight, we have a large number of people, and we will not be afraid of him."

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes lit up.

They are all practitioners, and they obviously know more about the situation in Songjiang Mansion than the government.

Nowadays, new-style textile factories have already bloomed everywhere in Songjiang Prefecture. Together with various supporting industries, it has indeed absorbed more than four-fifths of the population.

The vigorous development of new industries not only brought Songjiang cloth a stronger market competitiveness, but also enabled many people in Songjiang to benefit from the new industries.

The government's actions are undoubtedly harming the interests of the vast majority of people.

That being the case, once confronted, they are not unreasonable and helpless, but more helpful.

With this foundation, it is not impossible to fight for it.

But Xu Ji was still worried.

"No matter how many people support us, they are all unarmed people. If the Fang Zhifu really falls, what shall we do?"

Xu Erjue recalled Zuo Menggeng's teaching and the idea he just got in his mind, and his attitude became more and more firm.

"Since the government doesn't give us a way to survive, let's find a way to survive. The people in the northwest rose up when they couldn't survive. What's wrong with us?"

Hearing that an armed rebellion was planned, everyone present couldn't help feeling restless.

Pan Yunlong asked: "If we really come to this point and the imperial court mobilizes a large army to attack, what should we do?"

The person next to Xu Erjue stood up.

"Your Majesty has delivered an emergency military situation to Shandong. Within five days, the Shandong side will definitely know about it. In order to protect our Songjiang Mansion, Shandong has already made preparations. In other words, within a month or so at the latest, the Shandong army will be able to come to the rescue by sea." .As long as we can persist for more than a month, everything will be settled."

Everyone here knows that this person was sent by Shandong.

"Mr. Wang, the imperial army is very close at hand, I'm afraid mine won't be able to support Yue Yu!"

This person is Wang Ruixian, and he is the person in charge of the Intelligence Department in Songjiang Mansion.

At this time, he needs to stand up and boost the morale of the big guys.

"The commander-in-chief of my family has a saying: How can you see a rainbow without going through wind and rain? In the same way, how can it be smooth sailing if you want to achieve great things? The road ahead for us must be built with flesh and blood. Ladies and gentlemen, at the critical moment of life and death, you have to be afraid sacrificed?"

When it comes to these words, everyone in Songjiang Mansion is ashamed.

After all, they are just businessmen.

After getting used to making money and talking about profit, they are used to finding a proper and stable solution no matter what they face.

This is also the inferiority of the bourgeoisie.

It is almost their instinct to compromise when encountering difficulties.

But now Wang Ruixian showed the crisis nakedly in front of them.

Compromise is clearly useless.

Either live!
or die!
How should the people of Songjiang Mansion choose?
