"If the teacher can have a heart-to-heart talk with me, I will never let the teacher down."

Zhu Houzhong and Li Dongyang looked at each other and smiled. He took out a neatly bound book from the desk and handed it to Li Dongyang: "Teacher is leaving, and I can't force you to stay. Take this book back. If you have nothing to do, take a look at it. The teacher should be able to get it."

It’s very beneficial.”

Li Dongyang took the book and took a look at the title "Purple Cloud Magic". Although he was surprised why the title was so different, he didn't think much about it and said: Sir, thank you for your gift."

Just after Li Dongyang was sent away, a new problem arose with Zhu Houzhao. The local clan was in rebellion. Hu Dakui ordered Si Enbo to be killed because he was causing trouble in the Three Thousand Camp.

boom

Zhu Houzhao was so angry that he was about to explode with a slap on the table. He just wanted to change his mind. Why did people keep making trouble for him all day long?

Hu Dakui killed Si'en Bo. This matter is not big or small. Just accuse Si'en Bo casually, and then find someone from the Fang family to inherit the Earlship of Si'en. That's it.

Knowing that the Three Thousand Battalion was newly built and only wanted elites, not waste, he still intended to put his son in it for gilding. Hu Dakui didn't agree and made a fuss in the Three Thousand Battalion. Si Enbo died unjustly, and I believe no one would jump out to defend him.

say.

However, it is difficult to deal with troubles caused by local clans, which may lead to civil unrest.

Local clans are small local forces formed with surnames as the link, clan elders and clan chiefs as leaders, and villages as their bases. In terms of wealth, they are not as good as the gentry and wealthy families in various places, and in terms of influence, they are not as good as the civil servant group, but their

It is more difficult to deal with than any major power group.

Local clans respect their clan chiefs and take clan laws as their basis. In their eyes, clan laws even override national laws. It is not uncommon for local clans to hold private courts and impose arbitrary punishments, such as soaking in pig cages.

Ironclad evidence that local clan laws override national laws.

In addition, the chiefs of local clans can be said to have all-powerful authority in the local area. They have more power to speak than the government, and their words are more effective than the emperor's imperial edict. With a single order, it is not impossible for the tribesmen to attack the government and rebel on the spot.

He is like a little local emperor comparable to the chieftains of the southwest.

Now that Zhu Houzhao is implementing reforms, the land reform not only touches the interests of various power groups, but also touches the interests of local high-level clans. If the land is handed over and then redistributed, how many people within the clan will listen to them.

Relying on their status within the clan, the so-called clan leaders and clan elders are very domineering. Once they no longer have the capital to suppress the clan members below them, they will all become paper tigers, and they will be beaten to death if they go out at night.

possible.

In order to safeguard their own rights and status, local clan elders in various places encouraged their tribesmen to forcibly resist local officials who came to count the land, and even beat government officials to death.

In particular, Lijia Village in Taiyuan was the most violent. It not only resisted the national reform, but also severely injured the official responsible for counting the land and killed eight accompanying government officials. The elder of his clan arrogantly claimed that Lijia Village was a descendant of the Li family of the Tang Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty.

National law cannot control them.

The level of rampantness can be described as extremely wanton. In other places, clans make troubles by resisting officials from entering the village at most. However, Lijia Village openly screamed at the imperial court and did not take the imperial court seriously.

"A descendant of the Li family, what a descendant of the Li family..."

Zhu Houzhao was furious. It still needs to be verified whether a small Lijia Village is really a descendant of the Li family of the Tang Dynasty. Even if they are really the direct descendants of the Li family of the Tang Dynasty royal family, he will never let Lijia Village go, especially that one

The elder of the Li clan who openly shouted.

This era is the world of the Zhu family of the Ming Dynasty, the era of his Zhengde Emperor. It is not yet the turn of the Li family of the Tang Dynasty, who is hard to distinguish between true and false, to clamor, even if Tang Taizong Li Shimin comes.

Taking the glory of the Tang Dynasty and upholding the national laws of the Ming Dynasty, Lijiacun is quite majestic!

He deliberately sent people to destroy Lijia Village directly, killing chickens to scare monkeys and shock the world, but Zhu Houcheng understood that killing would not solve the problem.

The Lijia Village in Taiyuan was wiped out today. It will probably stop for a while, and then the Zhaojia Village in Kaifeng, the Yangjia Village in Hongnong, and the Liujia Village in Sishui will pop up... If the root cause of the problem is not solved, local clan rebellions will continue to occur.

.

The local clans are not very powerful, but dealing with them is more difficult than dealing with various power groups, because there are so many of them and they are quite united. Just killing one person may trigger a mutiny.

To deal with local clans, we can only attack from within them and make them fall into disarray. Only then can we completely dismantle the clan power and eliminate the clan elders who control the clan members to cause chaos one by one.

"Passed by Yang Yiqing."

Zhu Houzhao shouted to Liu Jin that he was going to ask Yang Yiqing to go to Taiyuan and suppress Lijia Village no matter what. Otherwise, clans from all over the country would imitate each other and keep shouting at the court. Where is the majesty of the court? He, the emperor, would put his face aside and carry out reforms.

How to proceed.

The influence of local clan rebellions is too great, even more serious than the collective resignation of officials before. This unhealthy trend must be suppressed, otherwise the consequences are unpredictable.

"Your Majesty, Yang Yiqing is here to see you."

Not long after, Yang Yiqing, dressed in a red official robe, arrived and paid homage to Zhu Houzhao.

"no!"

Zhu Houzhao shook his sleeves and said straight to the point without any nonsense: "I intend to send you to Taiyuan to resolve the chaos in Lijia Village. I love you, but I have confidence."

Yang Yiqing was one of the few court officials who was capable of both literary and military skills, so he was most suitable to be sent to suppress the rebellion in Lijia Village.

It can not only make the ordinary villagers of Lijia Village accept the land reform method, but also minimize the occurrence of bloodshed. The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty will not be the second choice except Yang Yiqing.

Wang Yangming is fine, but Wang Yangming wants to preside over the overall reform situation and cannot escape easily.

"The rebellion in Lijiacun was entirely caused by the clan's senior officials. Ordinary people do not have the courage to resist the imperial court. I am confident that I can pacify Lijiacun and bring to justice all the clan's lawbreakers who blatantly resist the law."

Yang Yiqing was overjoyed that the opportunity to enter Zhu Houzhao's inner circle had come, and he quickly assured with confidence.

It's just a Li family village. It's nothing more than arrogance in the local area. It dares to openly shout at the court. It's really boring. It's also the descendants of Li and Tang. Now it's the world of the Zhu family of the Ming Dynasty. It's not the turn of the surnamed Li.

"Let me take care of this matter. I will never treat you badly."

Zhu Houzhao began to draw cakes for Yang Yiqing. If he wanted the horse to run, he had to feed the horse. He would not understand such a simple truth.

It should be noted that every emperor is a master of pie painting. Although Zhu Houzhao was not as proficient in the art of pie painting as Zhu Yuanzhang, he was still able to do it easily.

"Li Dongyang, the chief assistant of the cabinet, has resigned from me. I plan to let Wang Shouren take over as the first assistant, and I will reserve the position of second assistant for Ai Qing."

It was also because the local clans were so violent that they urgently needed to pacify Lijia Village in Taiyuan as an example to suppress the clans in other places. Otherwise, Zhu Houzhao would never easily accept the position of Second Assistant to the Cabinet.
