Chapter 620: Shooting Scholars, Promoting Vernacular and Simplified Chinese Characters (Three in One)(1/2)

"In short, it would be better to have an "unsatisfied" emperor than to let the local government divide and divide, as this would lead to chaos!"

"It's because our China has always been one, not just a country, but also a civilization. Anyone with power will not want to settle in a corner, but will fight!"

"Therefore, the civilization of our country has always been divided and chaos, and harmony is at peace!"

"So, the common people also have a saying, "It is better to be a peaceful dog than a chaotic person! This is not a helpless word, but a statement of experience!"

"All you want to achieve is inappropriate in this vast country, only for small countries and few people, or when everyone knows the truth in the future, but then, even without a king, you may not be satisfied, just as now, you cannot mobilize many people with known words."

Gu Yanwu said.

"We are not dissatisfied with Your Majesty, but we are just dissatisfied with the monarch's autocracy! We will restore feudalism and abolish counties and counties, and we will be like the Emperor Zhou, which is really not possible?"

Huang Zongxi asked as he said that.

"The county system must come from the upper part! The feudal system must come from the lower part! Both have their own authority."

"Who is better? History has proved that the former can be at least peaceful for hundreds or even hundreds of years, and the latter will continue to be in chaos if it cannot be unified! Why is the ignorant of you so much? You even ask Your Majesty to do this absurd method."

Gu Yanwu replied again.

Seeing this, Zhu Youxiao looked at Chen Jiru, who was exiled to guard the border for many years and was allowed by the court to return to his hometown to continue farming because he was later allowed by the elderly widowed and widowed people to continue farming. He now came to the imperial court to listen to the lecture on behalf of the farmers, and asked, "Chen Jiru, what do you think they say?"

"When you go back to your Majesty, the farmers naturally do not understand these things. Whether the emperor's autocracy or not is not important to them. For them, the important thing is whether they can survive. The common people only hope that since the court will no longer impose agricultural tax, they will never reimpose agricultural tax in the future. Even if the court only has thirty taxes, the following can be turned into 10 taxes, or even five taxes, or even five taxes, or even the following year. This is what the people do not want to see."

Chen Jiru replied.

"Why do farmers do not pay taxes, but merchants have to pay? It is obvious that merchants support the court, but why are merchants exploited the most by the court?!"

Wan Weishu started talking at this time.

"Because the food prices are never high, farming has no profits, and it's even a loss!"

Chen Jiru replied, and said, "If there is another agricultural tax, who is willing to do farming? My Ming Dynasty has too many people and never lacks migrant workers. There is no need to drive them into the city to grab the workers' jobs. It is better to let them continue to be self-sufficient first."

Zhu Youxiao said: "The agricultural tax will naturally not be levied again. In the future, even subsidies will be required for farmers. I, the Ming Dynasty, have too many people, and to develop industry, there are no need to drive farmers to towns. The labor force is already sufficient because there are a large number of landless cities, and the rest of the land-owned farmers can only let them continue to farm and live."

Zhu Youxiao said and looked at Dai Aiguo: "Where are you workers, do you think it is necessary to limit the monarchy or to allow local autonomy?"

"After your Majesty's words, we just need to have the final say in the factory, our workers! But now we find that even if the factory is decided by our workers, there is still a problem. Everyone has their own ideas and no one can convince anyone. I think the world is the same. If the emperor cannot have the final say, then no one will decide, and I am afraid that it will really be in chaos."

Dai Aiguo replied.

Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but smile knowingly: "That's because your Datong Machinery Factory is getting bigger and bigger now!"

As he said that, Zhu Youxiao said, "Since there are great differences, we should maintain the status quo and not make changes without any changes. Now we should focus on making everyone rich and everyone has knowledge."

"Your Majesty! No! Don't give freedom to the people, but only make them rich and knowledgeable. So what's the difference between this and raising pigs? Isn't Your Majesty the people based on it? How can you not make them have no freedom!"

Seeing that he had not made any suggestions, Wan Weishu couldn't help but feel disappointed and hurriedly started talking.

"Don't be shameless!"

Zhu Youxiao turned cold.

Then, Zhu Youxiao ordered: "Drag on, the conference will end."

"Your Majesty! Please give the people freedom so that the people can choose their own parents, so that the people can run any industry, and that the people can trade freely!"

Even when Wan Weishu was dragged out, he still started shouting wildly.

Zhu Youxiao pretended not to hear it, so he naturally would not really adopt his advice just because Wan Weishu shouted loudly.

Zhu Youxiao is very pleased that his Daxing education is true after all. With more scholars among the common people, it is not easy for people with ulterior motives who want to freely exploit the people as before to deceive the people.

"Your Majesty's decree: Since there are great differences, we should maintain the status quo and not make any changes without any changes. Now we should focus on making everyone rich and everyone has knowledge."

But after Zhu Youxiao's words came out, the liberal scholars were disappointed.

"how so!"

"Mr. Lizhou didn't win the debate?!"

"There are great differences! What unreasonable things did those who do not agree with restricting the monarchy say!"

The liberal scholars who were looking forward to Huang Zongxi being able to fight against the scholars in front of the imperial court, so that His Majesty could let go and start the reforms did not expect that this would be the ending.

"After all, Mr. Tinglin won. Sure enough, their freedom-respecting cannot convince His Majesty!"

"Your Majesty is not that stupid. Besides, what we agree with is correct."

The scholars who supported Gu Yanwu's views were very happy.

Most of these scholars were poor scholars or small landlords, or scholars from small merchants.

Because the imperial court strongly intervened in the surge in wealth growth to a large number of the wealthiest classes, their wealth was increasing rapidly, so they were very willing to maintain the status quo.

"My emperor's wise!"

"My emperor's wise!"

"My emperor's wise!"

These scholars cheered happily.

"We have many people, why do you agree or not? Why do you think a lot of your Majesty obey the majority!"

Gao Dangui, a scholar who supported Huang Zongxi's views, said to Xu Feng, a scholar who supported Gu Yanwu's views.

Xu Feng replied: "What do you know? Is the truth not true? Do you think there are too many people or fewer people? Besides, there are not many people in you? If you count the people in the world, the peddlers, the fishermen, and the woodcutters, it is obvious that we have more."

"We are many of the scholars!"

Gao Dangui replied.

"We have a lot of people! What's more, this world is not just a scholar. Besides, what most people insist on is not necessarily correct, maybe it is tyranny, it is the tyranny of most people!"

Xu Feng replied.

"You are so unreasonable, I will kill you! There can't be any reforms in the world because there are too many bastards like you!"

Seeing that Xu Dangui could not convince Xu Xian, Gao Dangui lost his mind because Huang Zongxi and the others did not win. He immediately punched Xu Xian, which made Xu Xian's eyes appear on the spot. He took advantage of Xu Xian's fall to the ground and rode directly on, pinched Xu Xian's neck, and bared his teeth and said, "Go to die!"

Xu Feng struggled hard.

"You dare to hit someone! Go to die!"

Seeing this, Xu Li’s friend He Yan picked up a stone on the ground and smashed it at Gao Dangui, shouting: “The people from Huanglizhou are going to kill us!”

Wang Wujiu, a scholar who supported Huang Zongxi's side, ran over to help Gao Dangui: "The people from Gu Tinglin want to kill us, fight with them!"

Those who support Huang Zongxi wanted to find a place in the martial arts because the literary battle failed to achieve their goals.

The scholars who supported Gu Yanwu naturally did not want to be beaten passively.

For a moment, the two sides fought together, and more and more people were fighting each other.

The entire Xiaoling Mausoleum was full of scholars fighting each other inside and outside.

The fists flew like waves, rising and falling one after another.

Moreover, the fight was like the overturned ink spreading in the water, spreading rapidly, directly to Nanjing City outside the Xiaoling Mausoleum.

After hearing that the scholars in both sides of Nanjing started fighting and killed the people on their side, they all started fighting each other.

The scholars in Xiaoling Guard were fine, but because they were forbidden to bring scholar swords, they could only fight with bare hands.

But outside Xiaolingwei, some scholars in Nanjing had literati swords, and some radicals really killed people, chopped and killed them randomly, and blood flowed.

In short, they were originally just here to attend the Jinling Conference under the emperor's edict, but hundreds of thousands of scholars fought and killed each other.

Zhu Youxiao looked at the chaotic scene and his face became even more ugly, and he ordered: "I sent an order to the first, second, and third thousand headquarters of the Nanjing Guards and the Imperial Guards Battalion, all belong to the Governor Tang Aiming to control them, and immediately stop the fight of the scholars! In extraordinary times, use extraordinary methods, and those who take action will be shot first! It is understandable that they have their own opinions, but they cannot do anything without the king's law. This world is still my world, so they cannot do it none!"

"yes!"

Tang Aiming responded and then took the stage first.

Luo Zhijie, the general of the Imperial Guards, also went downstairs and ordered: "According to the order! Under the orders of the Governor of Jiangnan, to stop the fights of the scholars. In extraordinary times, use extraordinary methods. Those who take action will be shot directly! First, second, and third thousand headquarters, follow me!"

"yes!"

The officers and soldiers of the three imperial guards and thousand headquarters who were on standby in the temporary military camp near the tower immediately replied loudly, and then began to move out, like three iron-armored dragons, they began to rush towards the soldiers who were beating.

When a scholar saw that the official army was coming, he immediately became honest.

"You scholars who advocate the great master of the world are simply a group of stubborn bastards. You have caused us to be free, and it has made me unable to live a good life like before! There is no dignity to be the best after studying, and you guys will die!"

But there were also scholars who realized that the government army was coming and were still fighting for selflessness.

At this time, Wang Wujiu pinched Shen Yuan, a relatively thin and poor scholar who supported the world, and rolled on the ground while cursing.

Bang!

But not long after, Wang Wujiu was shot in the head on the spot, his head blossomed on the spot, his brain flowed out, and he lay on the ground, his eyes showing shock.

Chen Yuan took a few breaths, then blinked again, and looked in the sound, and saw an official army holding a gun, which was still smoking.

The other scholars around him also saw this scene and immediately became honest and stared at everything in front of him.

"Do you still know what the king's law is?!"

Tang Aiming came over and asked loudly at this time, and then said, "If you really want to destroy other people's bodies, why not destroy your own body! How dare you deprive your compatriots of your life? Do you have this qualification?!"

"After orders, now, those who fight will be executed on the spot, shoot them!"
