Begging in late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 351 Jiangnan Lecture Hall

This time the salt merchants were forced to surrender because of the words of the stunned Qing Yushi Wang Mengzhong, thoroughly investigate the Lianghuai salt industry!
The Lianghuai Salt Industry is almost like a nest of rats. It went up to the Lianghuai to tour the censor, and went down to the huge city of Yangzhou. In between, there were Donglin celebrities, Qinhuai famous prostitutes, immortals, eunuchs of the capital, and civil and military ministers. It was extremely complicated. An interest relationship is so complicated that it cannot be counted by statistics. It can be said that it affects the whole body. To be honest, Song Qingshu dare not move, but he has to show his attitude.

If you don't let me have a good time, I will burn this rat nest, and no one will play with it.

The Yangzhou salt merchants were frightened.

And the following political distribution is secondary to the conflict. After all, the scholars of Donglin Fushe just smashed two shops of Song Qingshu, and talked bad things about him everywhere, and were used by the salt merchants. It was only then that an alliance against Song Qingshu was formed to drive him and Ruan Dacheng out of Yingtian Mansion together, they were not the main force.

But this time when Wang Yaozhi went south, he didn't care much about salt, and it was the Donglin Party that dealt with it the most. Nanjing is the stronghold of the Donglin Party. This time Wang Yaozhi took advantage of the problem and slashed Donglin severely. The next Beijing investigation might make a comeback for the Zhejiang Party in Nanzhili. This is something Qian Qianyi and Fushe don't want to see anyway.

Still so careless, Qian Qianyi tapped on the table with his fingers and kept counting the opera points, looking at the stage as if chatting, and said: "I heard that the imperial censor was inspected by the Jiangnan Road of the Metropolitan Procuratorate recently, and Mr. Wu Weiye's bones are not feeling well. In the hometown, I heard that Mr. Yang Weiheng is smart and capable, and he has won the favor of the people in the south of the Yangtze River. A letter from an old student in the capital asked Yang Weiheng to be the censor of Jiangnan Dao. What does Duke Ruan think?"

"Oh, by the way, this Song Xiaoyou, it is said that one hundred thousand soldiers is too much, and the two Huaihe lands can't afford it. Thirty thousand is almost the same. The Nanjing Ministry of War can also give half of the salary after negotiation. Handsome, you can breathe a sigh of relief."

This is a political compromise. Wu Weiye’s impeachment of Song Qingshu sparked the Anqing mutiny. This time Wang Yaozhi came after him. No matter what, he couldn’t escape. It’s better to return home now because of illness. Face it, Yang Weiheng is a good friend of Ruan Dacheng, and the memorial to Ruan Dacheng's life and death was entrusted to Yang Weiheng. Unfortunately, both of them were defeated. Ruan Dacheng was dismissed from office and disappeared for the people, while Yang Weiheng was relegated to Huai'an Prefecture as the magistrate .

Ruan Dacheng got too involved in the eunuch's rebellion case, given him an official position, Qian Qianyi and Zhang Pu guessed that they couldn't hold back the situation, and gave Yang Weiheng the Jiangnan Daoist censor. Once Yang Weiheng lost his wings, he didn't pose much threat to Donglin Second, it can also indirectly protect Ruan Dacheng and Song Qingshu, as well as recruit the beggar army, and give [-] troops with half salary, which is also a great concession.

You must know that the guards in the interior have not seen what the pay looks like for many years. Even if the soldiers in some key places are not frontier soldiers and bandit suppressing troops, they only get [-]% of the pay. The begging army is located in Lianghuai, It is almost a miracle that the rear of the rear can get half of the salary. You must know that the imperial court only wanted to give [-] soldiers and [-]% of the salary.

Ruan Dacheng was very moved when he heard this, but the script he and Song Qingshu had discussed was not like this, so he resisted the urge to drool, so he had to cough lightly.

"Recently, the old man can't stay idle, and he and Song Xiaoyou also started a literary society. What's it called?"

"Jiangnan Lecture Hall!"

Speaking of this word, Song Qingshu's eyebrows couldn't help but become more energetic for a moment.

This is an offer, but before Qian Qianyi could open his mouth this time, Zhang Pu on the side already showed extreme disgust, and snorted disdainfully: "A group of vulgar warriors, remnants of eunuchs, rogue bandits, also want to form a literary society? It's really ridiculous, soldiers are murder weapons, bravery is evil, and it's not the way of a saint to govern a country, yet he still wants to use it on the literary society to make a big joke out of the world!"

This Song Qingshu is not happy, he came up with this title with great difficulty, and it has fulfilled his future wishes, and he has come to the south of the Yangtze River. Naturally, he is not willing to watch this beautiful country be reduced to the Manchus like history. Hand, dressed in ruins, couldn't help it, he also hummed in annoyance.

"If you don't teach civil war, you will abandon it! Zhang Daru has never heard what Confucius said!"

"The Analects of Confucius" is regarded as the enlightenment textbook for scholars. Song Qingshu's sarcasm immediately aroused Zhang Pu's spirits, and he opened his mouth to spout out of embarrassment, but before him, Song Qingshu hurriedly blocked his words and opened his mouth. he asked.

"If you follow Zhang Daru's words, how should the world be governed?"

"Naturally, it is necessary to broaden the world's public opinion, clear up the political affairs, assist the king, drive out the eunuchs to interfere in politics, restore the cleanliness of one official in the world, stop the mining tax and miscellaneous taxes in the world, so as to put the common people in peace, and if things go on like this, the world will be at peace!"

To speak out widely, to oppose the eunuchs, and to strike down the mine tax, these are the three main political propositions of the Donglin Party. Zhang Pu said it without even thinking about it.
If the sage Zhangkou speaks out of righteousness, Song Qingshu will definitely not be able to say that Zhang Pu is a great scholar, but just like the defeat between Hillary and Trump, Hillary lost because she did too much, and Trump did nothing. Hillary has faults to adjust, Trump does not.

Let Zhang Pu do it, and Song Qingshu can pick it up. With his eyebrows raised, Song Qingshu took the lead and said with a cold snort: "I come from the northwest, the northwest is desolate, and there have been nine droughts for ten years. The common people are thieves, Zhang Daru stopped the mining tax in the south of the Yangtze River, how can the imperial court help?"

"Calling on people with money and food all over the world to raise donations to help the north, Shengyun, human nature is good, if you understand it with reason..."

"Officials are greedy and despicable, exploiting layer upon layer. If there is food that has not been released from the warehouse, [-]% will be lost. If the silver is not in the warehouse, [-]% will be consumed. Even if people with money and food are willing to raise donations, how can Zhang Daru ensure that these life-saving money and food will not fall into the hands of corrupt officials? ?”

"Naturally, it is to strengthen the scientific way, open the way of speaking, go up to the heaven to listen, go down to the prison, and clean up the officials!"

"What does Zhang Daru mean, are all the censors and officials in the world now?"

Song Qingshu's voice suddenly became louder, and the opera was interrupted. The celebrities around Nanjing couldn't help but turn their heads to look at them. Zhang Pu didn't dare to agree to these words, and he offended too many people. He was dumbfounded for a while. , but Song Qingshu asked aggressively again.

"Nowadays the Eastern Captives are raging, and the battle is still fierce in Gyeonggi, and Zhang Daru's restoration society is full of talents. How can we drive the Eastern Captives from the north and keep the enemy out of the country?"

Already a little confused, Zhang Pu replied passively with a little stammer.

"Widely select loyal and loyal people, wear strong and sharp, fight with blood, and fight to the death with the captives. China is so strong that the captives will be defeated in one battle."

"Where do the soldiers come from, how much is the food and pay? How to deploy the equipment, where to fight? Where to defend? How many years will it take, tens of thousands of casualties? How will Zhang Daru solve it?"

Being asked by Song Qingshu sentence by sentence was a little impatient, Zhang Pu finally came to his senses, and asked angrily: "Then how can Brother Song explain it?"

"I do not know."

Song Qingshu shrugged like a bachelor, which stunned Zhang Pu again, but soon Song Qingshu's words made him wake up.

"That's why I want to work with Mr. Ruan to set up this Jiangnan Lecture Hall and find a solution!"

But he didn't remind Zhang Pu. Seeing that Zhang Pu was still blushing and unconvinced, he hurriedly pressed his shoulders, and then turned around and hugged Song Qingshu with a smile.

"Song Xiaoyou's great ambition, Qian admires it, I wish Song Xiaoyou's ambition will be fulfilled, enough to show off!"

This matter has been negotiated, and after Song Qingshu challenged Zhang Pu, the martial arts hall has not yet been established, and the reputation has been raised first, but it is just stepping on Zhang Pu's face, and it seems that Zhang Pu has figured it out. His complexion became particularly ugly, he flicked his sleeves abruptly, and actually dragged Fushe's 20-odd leaders straight and stumbled downstairs.

Glancing at Zhang Pu who took the road away, and then at Song Qingshu who was sitting back calmly, Qian Qianyi's heart was turned. He had underestimated Song Qingshu before, so that now he was forced to Ruan Dacheng's side can be regarded as the enemy of Donglin!

But now, if you win him over, can you bring Song Qingshu back?Edom Lin's justice, maybe it's not impossible, right?

He was no longer in the mood to listen to the play, and with his head lowered, Qian Qianyi also began to meditate.

The first scene of this "Swallow Notes" can be said to be well-known in the south of the Yangtze River. Even those who play outside, they all praise Gu's singing, but this time, the few people sitting in the best seats did not listen. What's wrong with it.

People always look forward, looking at the crowd leaving the venue slowly, and the three girls of his family who are still unsatisfied, Song Qingshu couldn't help having that thought in his heart again.

Can the entertainment industry do some tricks?It seems that only officials and beauties attract these unscrupulous scholars these days.
