I'm really not doing business

Chapter 99
One armor tops three crossbows, and the three armors enter the underworld.

This is a common saying, which refers to private possession of armor, especially full-body armor. Hiding one armor is equivalent to hiding three crossbows. amnesty.

Wang Zhigao, Shangshu of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, looked at the file for a long time and said: "Law of the Ming Dynasty: For all privately owned private vests, side cards, torches, cannons, flag banners, and belts that should be prohibited from military weapons, one stick is eighty yuan, and each Plus one level. For those who create private crimes, add one level to private crimes, and each crime will be stopped with a hundred rods, and the flow will be three thousand miles."

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty inherited the Tang system, and the Ming Law stipulated that those who privately banned weapons would be punished for one and a half years.A crossbow, plus a second class.Armor has one collar and three crossbows, traveling two thousand miles.Armor has three collars and five crossbows, twisted.

In the 22nd year of Hongwu, the hanging was abolished, and the private possession of military weapons was changed to one hundred rods, which flowed three thousand miles.

The "Regulations on Inquiry and Penalties" in the Hongzhi period revised this crime again, crossbows were crossed out from the list of private weapons, only heavy armor and firearms were prohibited, and the maximum penalty was stipulated, one hundred sticks and three thousand exile Li, that is, Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, Guizhou and other frontier places, will never return to their hometown.

With the development of the times, bows and crossbows are no longer prohibited.

Tan Lun was full of surprise and said: "Punching, rough grinding, piercing, wrong holes, cutting, staggering, fine grinding, the nail piece is finished, and the helmet needs to be woven with leather strips, and there is also a fabric lining inside and outside. , fitted with copper nails, this pair of armor requires at least [-] craftsmen, and it takes a year to make it, what is he going to do with the Gu family, he has hidden a hundred pairs!"

Wang Zhigao shook his head and said, "Gu's self-disclosure is to prevent the Japanese."

This reason is very appropriate. When the Japanese pirates were at their worst, they also attacked Songjiang Mansion. At that time, Luo Gongchen led the army to rescue him in the starry night. In order to thank Luo Gongchen, the gentry of Songjiang Mansion built an archway to commemorate him.

The Japanese pirates gradually settled down in the 41st year of Jiajing, and Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou wiped out the remnants, and then gradually settled down.

Gu Shi said that he had prepared armor in order to prevent the Japanese invasion, which is justified and understandable.

This is another metaphysical practice, which contradicts metaphysical cognition. The laws of Ming Dynasty stipulate that armor and firearms cannot be hidden. should.

Zhang Juzheng said quite seriously: "Now that the Japanese invasion is gradually calming down, Daming also set up a military town in Songjiang Mansion with more than [-] elite soldiers stationed there to prevent Japanese pirates from invading. At that time, the imperial court could not stabilize the sea. It's not in line with the Tao."

"How about this, and strictly order all families and sects to return armored crossbows and firearms to the public. The three-month period ends. If there is another investigation and punishment, how about being charged with concealing weapons?"

"It should be so." Wang Zhigao agreed with Zhang Juzheng's determination that hiding weapons was indeed a felony, but the main conflict in the southeast at that time was the various social chaos under the invasion of Japanese invaders. Hu Zongxian, Tan Lun, Qi Jiguang, Yu Dayou, etc. During the Pingwa period, rich families also provided armor to recruit soldiers, and finally Pingwa was completed.

This time, the Gu family has indeed hidden a lot of armor and crossbows, but it can also be said to be for preparations.

However, Hai Rui slightly disagreed and said, "Gu's possession of armor should be punished, if he is guilty but not punished, how can he rule the people? what was said."

"Indeed, there is room for leniency in Gu's private collection of armor, but as the Japanese plague gradually subsides, Gu's still keeps it at home and does not report it to the court. This is an inappropriate leniency."

Hai Rui shot a boomerang, and hit Zhang Juzheng with Zhang Juzheng's words just now, disapproving of Zhang Juzheng's kind approach.

Ge Shouli also agreed very much and said: "Indeed, if there is no punishment, what is the court's laws and rewards and punishments? The Nanya gentry sees that there is no punishment, so they will naturally hide them, and they will not return the Jianu to the public. They should be punished as an example."

"What does Mr. Hai think should be done?" Zhang Juzheng looked at Hai Rui and asked.

Hai Rui said concisely, "Return the field."

The ministers glanced at each other, showing that it was true and should be so, Hai Rui did not hesitate to launch a boomerang to attack the first assistant and Si Ni, with the aim of returning the field.

The means of production were confiscated, and the land was confiscated.

The main contradiction in the southeast right now is the encroachment by powerful tyrants and the loss of jobs for the common people. As the largest means of production, returning the land is the best way to alleviate the main contradiction.

Hai Rui looked at everyone and explained: "I am the governor of Nanya, and most of the land they annexed was taken advantage of when the Japanese pirates were everywhere. There were natural disasters at that time, and the gentry had judicial, imperial examinations, taxes, etc. All kinds of preferential treatment are expected to stabilize the herdsmen, but they took the opportunity to annex them wantonly and run amok among the villages."

The land annexation of the fourteen prefectures of Nanya was the most brutal period of time when the Japanese invasion was rampant.

When the main contradiction has changed from Pingwa to checking, occupying, and annexing, these fields should be vomited back as they are eaten.

"It's only reasonable." Zhang Juzheng nodded and said, "The Gu family has occupied more than [-] hectares of land, so let the Gu family return the land."

"22 mu of land, one big fish." Hai Rui said with a smile when he heard that Yuanfu agreed.

"What do you think?" Zhang Juzheng asked the courtiers.

Wan Shihe hesitated to speak, and finally did not express his attitude. In the first year of Wanli, the public and private of the Ming Dynasty were poor, and people could not survive on the northwest wind. It is possible to combine, and there is no such thing as combining, and the court tax has been completely sluggish.

After the gentry invaded these Changtian fields, they used their preferential exemption and the appeasement and connivance of the court to evade taxes, which eventually led to a serious shrinkage of the tax base of the Ming Dynasty.

"Since there is no objection, that's the case." Zhang Juzheng began to paste the floating ticket on the memorial, asking His Majesty to use it.

Zhu Yijun looked at it, took out the treasure of Wanli and built it on it. Once the 22 mu of land was in the hands of Yu Dayou, he could house a large number of captives again.

Zhang Juzheng took out a memorial and said: "Chen Tang, the censor of Jiantai Huguang Road in Nanjing, impeached Gu Zhangzhi, the minister of Guanglu Temple in Nanjing and the governor of Yingtianfu. It is not peaceful to stay here, impeach Gu Zhangzhi for the crime of dereliction of duty, bribery and appeasement."

Chen Tang, the spokesperson of the Zhang party's direct line, in this lengthy impeachment memorial, not only said that Gu Zhangzhi's corpse was a vegetarian meal, he did not do things well, he did not arrest and behead thieves, he also accepted bribes, tolerated his own party members, and made the city of Nanjing full of smog. In a month's time, there were more than a dozen bandits and bandits, and the people were astonished. Gu Zhangzhi ignored them, and even indulged the thieves because of bribes.

This part of government bribery and appeasement had a very bad impact on Nanya. Although it was difficult to investigate, the number of investigations was as many as tens of thousands of taels.

Zhang Juzheng continued: "Wan Gong, the minister of the river, impeached Gu Zhangzhi for his corruption of ink. The canals in the south of the Yangtze River extend for more than 34 miles. Every year in the early summer, the canals are filled with water and the canals are safe. Shallow stagnation, when the dams were cut off, and when Jingkou was closed, the cost of dredging was tens of thousands. A total of 10 battalions were recruited, and 48 people worked hard to dredge. It is strange to use 12 silver, and only 30 silver was issued for review. Gu Zhangzhi's greed for ink has exceeded [-] taels, and his complaints are overwhelming."

The two memorials directly point to Gu Zhangzhi's crime of bribery and appeasement.

The second memorial was extremely destructive. The frontier built the pass city wall, and the south was playing with dredging the river. Gu Zhangzhi took 48 taels from the court to dredge the river, but he himself was greedy for more than 30 taels!

When dredging the river, everyone will get a little bit of oil and water after a layer of hands. If it is not too much, no one will impeach this matter. After all, since Jiajing, the wind of bribery and appeasement has blown all over the world, but Gu Zhangzhi directly took 30 yuan, which is a bit too much.

He took away 30 yuan. In the dredging of the river, he couldn't pay for the earth, stone and woodwork, and he couldn't pay the money for the local governments. The 34 battalions of 10 people didn't even care about food, and they built various sections of the river. The yamen where the yamen is located is under great pressure. In order to appease the poor coolies, landless tenants, and wandering servants who are hungry and have to dredge the river, the yamen in various places are also scratching their heads, so that the construction of the canal will not become a problem. At the end of the Sui Dynasty, the canal was reversed in the world.

In the end, as soon as the debts were settled, Wan Gong figured out where the water of 30 silver was intercepted, and a memorandum went straight to heaven.

Pointing directly at the Gu family in Kunshan.

Zhang Juzheng thought for a while and said: "Gu Zhangzhi, he should be dismissed on the spot, taken into the capital, and Xu Xing asks questions."

The two charges of Gu Zhangzhi are all based on conclusive evidence. If Gu Zhangzhi is not brought to the capital and cheered up, who will be responsible for the shortfall of 30 taels?

"Let's copy the house." Hearing this, Tan Lun frowned and said, "The copying was late, and the 30 shortfall may be made up by the imperial court."

Now the house can be copied a bit, and if it is later, the money will be transferred away long ago. The fields cannot be moved, but the money can be moved. Gu's action is faster than the court, 30 taels, even if the household department is sold, it will not be able to make up for it Such a big hole.

Last year, the imperial court left a balance of 10 taels of silver, which was obtained by drawing points from the galleon.

Ge Shouli's mood is quite delicate. Xuanda and Dacheng also had holes in the Great Wall Dingjian. The holes made by Wang Chonggu and Zhang Siwei were nearly 200 million taels, but the court still asked Wang Chonggu and Zhang Siwei to plug up the hole. something happens.

Because Wang Chonggu was holding on to the matter of paying tribute to me, and the Beijing camp was sluggish, there was no way to pursue it too much, and it was done in a muddle-headed manner.

But Gu Zhangzhi directly ransacked the house to make up for the hole.

Because the Japanese invaders were wiped out in the southeast, and the Tatars established the Ming and Jin Kingdoms in the northwest, this is the horror of raising bandits' self-respect.

For soft persimmons, Zhang Juzheng is about to pinch, but for hard persimmons, Zhang Juzheng will stop pinching?Don't pinch why Zhenwu is needed, and what kind of Beijing camp will be built again!

"Let's copy the house." Ge Shouli was the chief constitution responsible for the impeachment of officials, and he agreed with Tan Lun's idea and copied without much hesitation.

Hai Rui agreed with copying the house very much, and said with a smile, "Copy."

What are you doing to mess with Zhang Juzheng!Who in the world doesn't know that Zhang Juzheng must take revenge?

Hai Rui suggested, Zhang Juzheng took the lead, and the emperor approved the case of returning the land in Nanya. If the land is returned obediently, maybe some boats can be exchanged from the imperial court. , poured some dirty water on Song Yangshan, Wang Daokun and the others, and made people angry. Now even the house was ransacked.

Zhang Juzheng is a follower and knows how to be flexible. He just wants to get things done, realize his ruling program, and return the world to the little emperor. Agreeing to Xu Fan's suggestion, Ken lowered his head and changed from enclosing land and exhausting people's power to becoming a maritime merchant.

Zhang Juzheng will definitely agree, and will ask the emperor to order one or two awards, praising the gentry of Ming Dynasty for being sensible and understanding of righteousness. , This is a role model, this is the example of the gentry in the world, if the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River want some privileges in maritime affairs, the court will definitely agree.

It's a pity that Xu Fan was stripped of his official status and exiled to Jizhou, and now Gu's family has been confiscated.

"Is there anyone else who wants to speak for the Gu family?" Zhang Juzheng looked at Wan Shihe. Whenever this person hurt the interests of the gentry, he would jump out and talk about things with the rules of etiquette and ancestors. Now this is Bao Liang Ungrateful, a big case of ransacking the property of a fish and meat gentry.

Wan Shihe immediately shook his head and said, "Copy! It must be copied! It's a shortfall of 30 taels!"

Wan Shihe's memory has also improved somewhat. After being scolded so many times, if he doesn't change his mind, this Minister of Rites may not be able to do it for a few days, and he will not die well.

"Okay." Zhang Juzheng smiled, and wrote down his opinion on the floating ticket.

When Zhu Yijun issued the seal, he took a special look at it. Luo Sigong's father, Luo Bingliang, handled things decently. Without even giving him a bite of food, he has roughly sorted out Gu's property, which is about 78 taels of silver and more than 22 acres of land.

That is to say, Luo Bingliang has actually copied the Gu family in Kunshan. If a person dies or not, it is up to the court Minggong to judge, but the money and land should not be taken away. You have to dig out three feet of the ground. .

All the officials and gentry in the world are afraid of Tiqi, and they are afraid of it. During the Jiajing period when Lu Bing was the commander in chief of Tiqi, it was the time when Emperor Jiajing's imperial prestige was at its peak.

"Xu Fan's words are reasonable. How much do you eat to be full from small fish? You can burp if you eat a big fish. This year, the Ministry of Households can have a little more money. According to the law of the ancestors, the income from copying is confiscated. The national funds are seven and the internal funds are Three." Zhu Yijun picked up the ink pen and changed the split to seventy-three instead of fifty-five, and then printed it.

Hubu Shangshu Wang Guoguang was quite surprised and fined and confiscated the proceeds from the house raids. According to the ancestral law in the Yongle period, all the money was returned to the internal funds, but at that time the internal funds were public funds, and all the rewards for celebrations came from the internal funds.

According to the ancestral law of the Jiajing period, it was [-]-[-], and there was no unevenness, and everyone was half and half, reluctantly, but with a swipe of the emperor's little hand, it was [-]-[-].

With a swipe of your majesty's little hand, there must be something wrong.

Sure enough, Zhang Juzheng took out another memorial and said: "Songjiang General Soldier Yu Dayou, Chen Lin, Song Yangshan, Wang Daokun and others made a memorial: It is said that Songjiang Prefecture is a place with a thoroughfare to nine provinces, and it is a good deep-water port. Liujiagang sailed southward to the West Sea seven times. The government and civilians are rich in public and private interests. We asked for an order to open the sea, set up the Ship Department of Songjiang City, set up the Capital Salary Office, three Lianggang offices, and the third shipyard. The court will discuss this matter."

See the picture poorly.

Wang Guoguang understood immediately!No wonder that before the court meeting, the little emperor wanted to talk about the Aoshan fireworks, and he was expressing a position that both the court and the palace should increase revenue and reduce expenditure.

In order to save money, even the Aoshan Fireworks that started in the Yongle period were suspended, which is saving money.

Then Kaihai is open source.

The reason why the little emperor was willing to confiscate the fine and confiscate it into seven or three was because he had his eyes on the fat of Kaihai.

After all, the Yuegang Metropolitan Rating Office received a [-]-[-] split between the national and domestic funds, which is the bulk.

"The Ministry of Households has no objection." Wang Guoguang immediately stated that the Ministry of Households is also poor and cannot make ends meet every year. He, the Minister of the Household Department, is also in a state of desperation. Now the emperor is willing to increase revenue and reduce expenditure. Yes, Wang Guoguang will agree.

The treasurer of the empire looked at the empty state money every day, and anyone who asked for money would sigh and say that there was no money. This was not a long-term solution.

"The Ministry of Punishment has no objection." Wang Zhigao was the second to state that Yuegang has been practicing for a long time. As long as the Hongmao Fan is not given land, the Hongmao Fan will not be able to take root and will not cause more bad influence.

Zhang Han, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, thought for a while and said, "Mr. Yuanfu handled it well!"

Tan Lun thought for a while and said: "Everyone knows that since I was the governor of Fujian, I have been proposing to open the sea, even if it is Yuegang. To no avail, the Ministry of War also agrees with the matter of the Songjiang City Shipping Department, if there is a conflict, Yu Long's power will shake the southeast, so it seems that nothing will happen."

The Japanese pirates had better make a comeback. If they could be killed in the past, they can be killed now. It is better to kill all the southeast gentry, wealthy businessmen, and powerful people behind them!
kill kill kill!Kill him until the blood flowed like a river, and kill him completely.

Tan Lun was born as a Jinshi, but the most thing he has done in his life is killing people. Tan Lun has no patience like Zhang Juzheng. The way of opening and closing, disobedient, screaming together, full of contradictions, contradictions?What contradiction?
Kill the opponent directly, wouldn't there be no conflict?

Of course, Tan Lun also knew that he couldn’t do that. After Song Huizong pacified Fang La, in order to make money, he directly killed the middle man’s family one out of ten times. As a result, the people’s hearts were divided. Later, Song Huizong was captured by the Jin people. The cellar went.

Tan Lun knew that he was not suitable for such things as governing the country.

Four of the six ministries had no objection, and the matter was considered to have passed the court discussion, and as long as the little emperor issued a seal, it would be considered legal.

It's just that Zhang Juzheng is willing to listen to opposing opinions. After all, every opposing opinion can reduce some detours.

The establishment of the Shibo Department must be inseparable from the ancestral law, especially the ancestral law that completely banned the sea during the Jiajing period.

Wan Shihe did not object to opening the sea. He said with emotion: "At the beginning of Hongwu, Gui Yanliang said in "The Twelve Points of Shangtaiping Governance": The way to control the barbarians is to put defense first, followed by conquest, and open borders. Provocations and greed for petty gains are the worst. The barbarians pay tribute, and there is some unsatisfactory time. Since the cultivation of literature and virtue, send envoys to explain it. They will be afraid of power and virtue, and they will all be subdued. Why bother to work hard far away! "

"Taizu followed it and set up a country that will not be conquered for fifteen years."

The main reason and goal of establishing the tributary state business system during the Hongwu period was to make the people of the barbarians submissive, and all nations to come to court. The main reason for this goal was that the main contradiction at that time was different from what it is now.

At that time, the Song Dynasty destroyed the country for a hundred years, and the Ming Dynasty was newly established, and it was necessary for all nations to come to the dynasty to increase cohesion.

What Wan Shihe said was also the three programs of Ming Dynasty's foreign relations.

First, people from afar, trade is a means to achieve diplomatic goals rather than an end;
Second, emphasizing culture and morality, the most important thing is to make the Yi country fear power and Huaide, and realize cultural kingship, rather than rule by force;
The third is light conquest, which means military conquest is only used when it is absolutely necessary, and it is enough to achieve partial political restraint.

For example, during the Yongle period, the Annan Kingdom was conquered and Jiaozhi was set up. It wasn't for the Jiaozhi Liyue Dynasty who repeatedly provoked and set up an ambush to ambush the [-] soldiers who escorted Chen Tianping back to the country.

Wan Shihe said with a strange expression: "The contradiction at that time was that the Ming Dynasty was newly established, and it urgently needed the aspirations of all people, and also needed to recuperate, so there was the goal of Huairou Yuanren, Sibari guests, and all nations coming to court."

"The same was true during the Yongle period. At that time, it was difficult to conquer, the world was not at peace, and the countries on the thousands of miles of seawalls were restless, and they needed to show off their might. That's why there were seven voyages to the West. The Ming army showed off the might of heaven."

"The sky is constantly changing, the earth is constantly changing, people are constantly changing, and the Tao is constantly changing."

"The contradictions between the Jiajing period and the Longqing period changed again, which is probably what Tan Sima said: if the imperial court is lax and strict, its value will be thicker, and it will become more numerous. If you can't have private relations, you can grab it and follow it. in this way."

The contradictions are changing, the goals are changing, and the means are changing.

Contradictions dominate the cyclical development of all things.

The strict sea ban during the Jiajing period and the opening of the sea during the Longqing period are in line with the characteristics of the development of things. Tan Lun made it very clear in "Tiao Chen Pingwo's Unfinished Matters" that the more the sea ban is banned, the deeper the contradictions will be. The more people there are, the more private trade is not allowed, it will cause trouble.

"Yeah, Wanshangshu also reads contradictory theory?" Feng Bao asked in great surprise, "I thought you regarded it as a heresy and just refused to read it, so it seems that Wanshangshu also reads it?"

"I'm a scholar!" Wan Shihe argued aloud, his face flushed red from the ambiguity.

Feng Bao said with a full smile: "Ah, yes, yes, it looks a bit like it now."

Feng Bao was so angry that no one paid for his life, this yin and yang strange qi really hit his heart, Wan Shihe had both studied, and was even scolded.

What a word, what a word!What is like!He, Wan Shihe, was born as a Jinshi!That is a scholar of the Ming Dynasty who has been rolled out by thousands of troops!
This contradiction says that once you read this stuff and understand it carefully, it is like climbing ashore from a cesspit to wash it clean, and it is difficult to jump back into the cesspit again.

It has been the second year of Wanli, and the traditional Confucianism of the three generations of law is still being practiced. It is a bit rotten to be true!Don't engage in contradictory theory, think it is heresy, even if it is a little bit of unity of knowledge and action, it is fine!
"The imperial court only had 40 taels of silver left last year, but it was much stronger than in the [-] years of Jiajing. That year it was short of more than [-] million taels of silver. In the end, Yan Ge was old and came to the world. The temple owner took money from internal funds to fill the gap." Wang Guo Guang talked about the past with a sigh.

In the 41st year of Jiajing's reign, Yan Shifan's extortion of bribes to Prince Yu's Mansion was known by Emperor Jiajing.

In the 40th year of Jiajing, the imperial court fought against the Tatars in Datong, Xuanfu, and fought against the Japanese in the southeast. The emperor asked the emperor to withdraw the money from internal funds.

Emperor Jiajing thought that by killing Yan Shifan and copying Yan's house, he could fill the gap in the palace. As a result, Xu Jie copied Yan Song's house. Until Jiajing 44, he gave Emperor Jiajing 10 taels of silver.

Zhu Yijun heard Wan Shihe's statement and said with a smile: "Dayu's control of the water is worse than blocking it. The world lives by the sea and depends on the sea to eat the sea. The imperial court set up a capital to make money. It's not shabby."

The material base determines the superstructure, and the Ming court only had one word, poor.

No money, no food, nothing can be done, no rice in hand, no chickens should be called.

The matter of the Shibo Department has passed the court discussion, and the specific handling must be left to Yu Dayou, Wang Daokun, and Zhang Cheng.

Zhang Juzheng's attack came to an end for the time being. He ordered the South Yamen to return the land to the Nanya government because of Gu's private possession of armor;

When Zhang Juzheng launched an attack, how should the Nanya gentry respond?
From Beiya to Nanya, it takes fifteen days to hurry up and whip. Because of the snow, it is a little late, but the imperial court ordered the powerful families on the ground in Nanya to hand over their armor and crossbows. There was an uproar.

At this time, in the Xu family's old house, Luo Bingliang was waiting outside the door with a knife.

Xu Fan was wronged. Luo Bingliang knew and collected a lot of personal, physical and documentary evidence to prove that Xu Fan did not appear in that prostitute's house that day.

On the day of Xu Fan's murder, Xu Fan quarreled with Xu Jie in Xu's old house and fell asleep immediately. Xu Fan could provide sufficient alibi. How can I have the mind to look for flowers and ask willows.

Luo Bingliang confiscated the witnesses and sent them to Xu Xing in Beijing for questioning. As for whether Xu Fan will be convicted of the crime, it is not up to Luo Bingliang to decide.

This is a big case of framing, but the imperial court has already dealt with it, saying that he was exiled to Bianfang Junzhen, but he went to Jizhou, which meant protection.Nanya will inevitably set off a huge wave during the return of the field. Xu Fan will continue to stay in Songjiang Mansion, so he can't protect Xu's family, let alone Xu Jie.

Zhang Juzheng sent Xu Fan to the north and put it in Ji Town, which can be regarded as leaving a line of incense for the Xu family. Even if the Xu family is overthrown, there will not be no descendants, and it can be regarded as the last friendship of Zhang Juzheng's disciples.

After the Xu Fan case, Zhang Juzheng and Xu Jie met again, and they were real enemies.

Luo Bingliang stood with a knife in his hand, waiting for Xu Fan to bid farewell to his old father.

Xu Fan knelt on the ground, kowtowed three times, tears streaming down his face, he didn't know what to do to keep the Xu family.

"When you arrive in the north, just listen to Zhang Juzheng's words. My disciple is cruel and merciless, but after all, I am thinking of a kind of incense, saying that if you cut off the official body and exile, it will also save your life." Xu Jie put down the teacup and said. : "I know you resent me and hate me, the matter has come to this, you and my father and son, there is no need to say more."

Xu Fan stood up, frowned and said, "Father, do we also hide armor and crossbows in our house?"

"Yes." Xu Jie sighed, nodded and replied affirmatively, who in the Quanhao's house on the ground in Nanya hasn't ordered this thing, otherwise those tenants who lost their land, wandering servants, and mountain bandits would have given Quanhao The house was robbed.

Xu Fan wiped the tears from his face, and said with a sigh: "The imperial court issued a strict decree, requiring all families to return the armored crossbow, how should we respond?"

"Don't hand over? Gu's family will be ransacked immediately, killing chickens to scare monkeys, not handing over armored crossbows, it is a capital offense; handing in? The court wants the powerful family to return the land, and then resists and refuses to obey, that is also death, and even resistance can't be done .”

"Waiting to die left and right."

Xu Jie looked solemnly, looked at Xu Fan and said, "This is a struggle, life and death."

The nature of the contradiction has a very strong fighting nature. Obviously, fighting is not a dinner party, it is bloody and requires bloodshed, and the court is powerful and the power is weak.

Xu Fan raised his hand and said eagerly: "Father, admit it, return the crossbow, and ask the court to order the ship lead, I have heard the decree, the court wants to build a city shipping department in Songjiang, and Songjiang Prefecture is connected to nine provinces, this is a good idea." As long as a place is managed a little bit, it will be hundreds of times stronger than a city of ten thousand houses, not to mention that it will not change forever, at least five generations will prosper."

Xu Jie stood up, walked in front of Xu Fan, beat the dirt on his clothes, took a good look at Xu Fan and said: "You, I still don't understand, I will admit that there are people, don't let me Admit it, I know what you mean, and I'm not being stubborn."

"After arriving in the north, there is no father to rely on. You must tolerate everything and don't cause trouble. The incense friendship between Zhang Juzheng and I has been broken. You can go your own way in the future."

"If I die, you remember, your Majesty, Zhang Juzheng, and the court are not your father-killing enemies, do you understand?"

"I don't kill Boren, Boren died because of me."

Xu Jie couldn't express his meaning clearly, because he hadn't read Zhang Juzheng's public and private statements. Once he read it, he would suddenly see the light. Now he only knows that he has no way out.

The one who really killed Xu Jie was himself, the powerful man on the ground in Nanya. No matter whether Xu Jie did it or not, he must be on the cusp of cleaning up Nanya and annexing the fields.

"Why, the imperial court wants to set up a city shipping department in Songjiang Mansion. We Nanya gentry can go to sea with this. We don't make money, so we have to dig food in the soil. Why is that? ?” Xu Fan couldn’t figure out why these gentry couldn’t change their minds?
Xu Jie said with a smile: "Occupying the fields can last forever, but hereditary inheritance can't be replaced, but it can't be done in business. There is profit and loss in business. Nothing can make a family prosper and prosper more than land, isn't it?"

Xu Fan looked mixed and said: "People can't live forever, how can there be any family that can last forever, and can't be replaced by hereditary?"

"In the old days, the swallows in front of Wang Xietang flew into the homes of ordinary people."
