"Are you the Emperor?"

Feng Shengshi hurriedly asked.

Zhu Youxiao was too lazy to pay attention to him and just shouted: "Cheer!"

Hua Yuncheng ordered his battalion soldiers to take over Feng Shengshi and Feng Shengshi's slaves from the Jinyiwei.

As for the several people who were ordered to be beaten and killed by Feng Shengshi, the next time, Zhu Youxiao issued an order to send Hua Yuncheng to take the beaten people into the city for treatment and compiled them into Tianjin New Houses, and the beaten dead were buried.

The gentry and landlords who have manors in Shuntian Mansion face the problem of large-scale loss of their own slaves and tenants because the Tianjin industrial base is more attractive to labor. They are also using various cruel behaviors to prevent tenants and slaves from entering the factory and becoming laborers.

Feng Shengshi, a gentry who wanted to beat and kill tenants who wanted to escape to Tianjin, was not an isolated case.

Zhu Youxiao was not surprised or surprised by this. He knew that since his industrialization of the Ming Dynasty in Tianjin, it would mean that these social contradictions would arise.

As an emperor and the new types of officials and gentry who profited from industrialization were destined to have conflicts with the traditional gentry who monopolized land resources to exploit farmers because of the competition for labor resources.

This is inevitable.

"Report to Your Majesty! I have important things to report. According to the report of the Dongchang informant of Wuqing County, the Wuqing County government was burned by the fierce people, and the magistrate Tao Yunzhi was even burned by the fierce people to burn to death. According to the Dongchang, it was Wang Tai, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites, who instructed the villagers to do it!"

When Zhu Youxiao passed by Wuqing County, Wei Zhongxian suddenly received an urgent report and came to Zhu Youxiao to report.

After learning about it, Zhu Youxiao turned cold again: "This is a rebellion! He dared to burn even the officials in the court to death. Why? The world is really a gentry's world! He passed the order, and Ma Shilong, the general of the escort, led his troops to immediately capture Wuqing County, directly suppress the rioters in the city, immediately rescued the magistrate Tao Yunzhi, and took Wang Tai here!"

Not long after Zhu Youxiao issued the order, Ma Shilong led his subordinates to the Wuqing County Town immediately rode his horse.

Zhu Youxiao asked Wei Zhongxian: "Can you find out what is the specific reason why local officials and gentry like Wang Tai are so arrogant?"

"Return to the emperor, according to the informant from the Dongchang, because Wang Tai's son-in-law Yu Gongsheng beat and killed more than 20 tenants who wanted to escape to Tianjin. After Wuqing magistrate Tao Yunzhi learned about this, he locked up Wang Tai's son-in-law Yu Liren. Wang Tai made a move to burn the county government on the grounds that his son-in-law Yu Liren should not be punished by common people, and the new magistrate enforced the law rigorously, and he rushed to the county prison to rescue his son-in-law. He also said that the magistrate Tao Yunzhi was attacked by a monster, so it was cruel and inappropriate, so he decided to burn him to death. Most of the villagers in Wuqing County were Wangtai, and the Wangtai clan had always been famous in Wuqing County. Therefore, the villagers in Wuqing County believed in his words, so they wanted to burn the magistrate Tao Yunzhi to death!"

Wei Zhongxian reported truthfully.

After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao nodded and couldn't help but say, "It was another tragedy that happened because the tenants refused to be enslaved by the gentry again! These gentry and tyrants who were unrighteous are really hateful. They still rely on their appeal in the countryside, so they don't take the imperial court seriously and regard human lives as grass! Can they read the books of sages into the dog's belly?!"

"Report to Your Majesty, the gentry and wealthy families can only accumulate wealth in the past life by enslaving the people. They have always regarded their slaves and tenants as private property, and they dispose of their own families and disregarded their national laws. Even if the government inquiries, they will blame the government. In the temple court, Li Song, the Minister of War, who lives in the township, beat the county magistrate for favoring his family, and afterwards, Li Song did not punish him at all;

Nowadays, tenant slaves choose to survive because the contract expires, which is nothing wrong. And these gentry beat and killed them without authorization, which is indeed a destruction of conscience. It is contrary to the way the sages love the people, and it is enough to show how serious the local discipline is;

In the eyes of the ministers, only by strictly governing the country and strengthening discipline and laws can some gentry and wealthy families know how to fear it. With the benevolence and education advocated by the sages, it is difficult to make them have a good intention!”

Xiong Tingbi also has his own manufacturing industry in Tianjin and has also participated in the investment of the official industry, so he is now a new type of food and profit class.

Xiong Tingbi no longer minded losing some benefits on the land, but hoped that the scale could be expanded by the addition of more workers in the factory and could make more profits. Therefore, he was naturally dissatisfied with these acts of killing tenants without authorization and even beating officials. At this time, he took the initiative to propose that the court should punish these gentry and tyrants with severe punishment.

...

"The tenant Guo Xiaochun and others were not guilty, but Feng Shengshi ordered the servants to kill them. According to the Ming Dynasty, if the slaves were not guilty, they would still be stolen for 60 people, and they would be stolen for one year. The people in the house were all released from the good, not to mention that Guo Xiaochun and others were not their servants, but were just tenants. They passed the orders of this official, and immediately gave the evil gentry Feng Shengshi a hundred sticks. After three years of exile, all the slaves in the Feng Mansion ordered the servants to be stolen, and the Feng Mansion would not be allowed to raise the slaves anymore!"

Hua Yuncheng has already opened a trial of the Feng Shengshi case. After asking the tenant Guo Xiaochun and others about the specific process, he immediately issued an order.

"No, you can't hit me! My father is the minister! You can't hit me!"

Feng Shengshi hurriedly shouted.

But Hua Yuncheng's battalion guards still pressed Feng Shengshi to the ground.

Hua Yuncheng shouted at this time: "Battle!"

Bang!

The battalion guards under Hua Yuncheng waved their stick and beat Feng Shengshilai.

"ah!"

Feng Shengshi immediately screamed.

No matter what, he never expected that he was going to kill the tenants, who had to kill the family slaves, but he was now beaten by the Tianjin governor with a big stick.

Feng Shengshi screamed miserably.

As a scholar, he was pampered and had a better life, and his ability to withstand beating was not as good as that of tenants. For him, a hundred sticks could directly kill him.

But in fact, before reaching eighty sticks, and when they were only seventy, Feng Shengshi was beaten to death.

"Slow down! You can't beat me like this!"

At this time, Feng Jinglun, the former left assistant minister of the Nanjing Ministry of War, suddenly shouted outside, and then walked in with his children.

When Feng Jinglun saw his son Feng Shengshi lying on the ground without venting his anger, he started crying on the spot: "My son!"

Then, Feng Jinglun pointed at Hua Yuncheng and shouted: "The surname is Hua! If you kill my son, I will pay your life!"

Hua Yuncheng just touched his nose: "I ordered my son to ignore the king's laws and beat and kill the people. As a local governor, I should punish him! Even if I beat him to death, it is only the King of Hell who wants to accept him, and it has nothing to do with me. If you want me to pay my life, what basis does it have to pay my life? Of course, if you don't accept it, you can go to the capital to file a lawsuit!"

"The one who beats me to death is just my tenant, so what kind of people are living! Besides, according to the law of the Wang clan of the family, all tenant farmers who flee privately should be beaten and killed! My son acts according to the law of the clan, what is wrong with it?!"

Feng Jinglun gritted his teeth and said, then asked Hua Yuncheng loudly.

"Of course there is something wrong!"

Hua Yuncheng also replied loudly.

Then, Hua Yuncheng said again: "When is your clan law bigger than the Ming law? The Ming law does not allow gentry to beat tenants and slaves at will, but your clan law is OK. What kind of clan law is this? In addition, who gave you the power to be able to write laws and regulations!"

Then, Hua Yuncheng asked in a cold voice: "Are you going to establish a new court?!"
