"Your Majesty, this fake "Confucian Gate Xundao" suddenly appeared seven days ago. Most of the content above is no different from the real "Confucian Gate Xundao". It just replaces the article introducing the land equalization compensation plan with

"On Xiang Xian" and "On Wu Zhou Jun Tian". The Jinyiwei people discovered something was wrong five days ago, and immediately dispatched plainclothes cavalry to arrest several newsboys, and found the fake "Confucianism Xun" privately printed.

The engraving workshop of the newspaper. However, the engravers who were caught said they did not know that the newspaper they were printing was a fake newspaper. They just carved the plates based on a handwritten copy of the "Confucian Xunbao"... Beizhen Fu

After Si's interrogation, it was discovered that these engravers could only draw pictures of gourds and ladles, but were actually illiterate..."

Sitting in a large sand boat-shaped passenger boat, reporting to Zhu Heji on the progress of the "fake newspaper" case, was Pang Siming, the commander of the Jinyi Guards who had just arrived from Nanjing to Wuxian County, Suzhou. Don't look at the 9,000-year-old Eunuch Pang.

The adopted son was young, only sixteen or seventeen years old when he followed Zhu Heji, and he is only in his early twenties this year. However, because of his reliability and ability, and the help of a group of younger brothers, he became one of Zhu Heji's right-hand men.

From the governor of the inner gunpowder factory, to the captain of the guard in the attendant's department, to the commander of the Jinyi Guard, he has already become a very popular minister at a young age. This is in troubled times, and in the peaceful years, I don't know if I can survive at this age.

What about campus?

While listening to Pang Siming's report, Zhu Heji held up a fake "Confucian School Xunbao" and looked at it with a somewhat helpless expression on his face - it was wrong to make fake copies! Although the genuine "Confucian School Xunbao" was printed

The quantity is a bit small and the price is a bit high. But you can’t just print pirated copies and sell them because of this. Do you know about intellectual property rights? This is illegal!

In addition, the problem with this "Confucian School Xunbao" is not only piracy, but also a "fake newspaper" that uses the name of "Confucian School Xunbao"!

This idea... is really amazing!

"Teacher, this fake newspaper must be the work of spies sent by the Qing Yao Confucian Sect. The purpose is to sabotage the exam competition that will be held early next year. The students suggest posting shadow graphics to hunt down the Qing Yao spies!"

The person who made the suggestion was Zhu Heji's favorite disciple Yan Yuan. He is still serving as Zhu Heji's minister and chief of bodyguards. He led a group of guards and attendants (guards are bodyguards and attendants are secretaries) to follow Zhu Heji.

Private interview via WeChat.

"Can you catch it?" Zhu Heji glanced at "little father-in-law".

"Yes!" Pang Siming said, "But there is no need to draw shadows and figures, just a secret arrest... The plainclothes cavalry sent by the minister are originally to investigate and arrest secretly, and the masterminds behind the scenes should not know it yet.

Their book engraving workshop has been controlled by Tiqi."

"Well done!" Zhu Heji nodded with a smile. This generation of Jinyiwei is not the same as those in the late Ming Dynasty. The backbone of them are all rebels. They are doing secret work with their heads up. Their level is

no the same!

Pang Siming changed the topic at this time and said, "But I think it's best not to arrest the masterminds behind the scenes."

"Not arrested?" Zhu Heji was stunned, "Why?"

Pang Siming handed over another note, "Your Majesty, this is from Penglai Bank in Dengzhou."

Zhu Heji took the note and read it, and immediately laughed: "It turns out that Zhou Qiuguang is here... No wonder he can come up with such a brilliant idea. This person really can't be caught, we have to find a way

Let him go back and continue to assist Kangxi!"

Zhu and Ji both sent spies to Kangxi's south study room, and of course they knew the nickname "Zhou Qiguang".

If "Zhou Qiuguang" was captured and killed, wouldn't this help Kangxi?

Pang Siming added at this time: "But it's inappropriate to let them propagate Confucian fallacies like this..."

Zhu Heji looked back at Yan Yuan, "Yizhi, what do you think of the rural virtuous people they advocate and the equalization of land in Wu and Zhou?"

Yan Yuandao: "Teacher, students think that the rural sages themselves have nothing. After we finish equalizing the land here, whether the land is owned by the clan or the village community, someone needs to come out to take charge of the subcontracting of the land and the rural schools for elementary education. These

Aren’t people just virtuous people?”

Zhu Heji nodded, "That's right, we don't have that many officials to send... Kangxi's imperial power does not go to the countryside. Our imperial power can only go to the countryside at most, and it is impossible to go to the village and join the clan.

"

There is a cost for imperial power to go to the countryside. No matter how good Zhu Heji is in business, he cannot make money without the current productivity. And the current productivity can only support the bureaucracy to go to the countryside, and the cost of going to the village to join the clan cannot be borne at all.

Moreover, Zhu Heji's system not only included officials, but also Confucian sects, government-run universities, middle schools, and elementary schools co-managed by Confucian officials... When the imperial power went to the countryside, elementary schools would of course follow suit, and Confucian sects would also follow.

Go to the countryside together.

In addition, when officials, schools, and Confucianism went to the countryside, the judicial, financial, and supervisory systems of the New Ming Dynasty also had to expand downwards.

This is an expansion of the entire ruling system, and you can imagine how high the cost is. Although the country's taxation and mobilization capabilities will also expand at the same time, the development of productivity does not happen overnight.

Therefore, before the industrial revolution is completed, villages and clans must be autonomous!

Yan Yuan added: "But our village community and clan autonomy are completely different from Qing Yao's so-called rural sages. The purpose of allowing village communities and clans to be autonomous is to let them take care of their own affairs, not for

Collect more taxes. The village chief and clan chief are not appointed by us, but elected by the villagers and clan members themselves.

And at the same time, we are also promoting compulsory education where everyone has access to books... As long as everyone is literate, they will have the opportunity to be admitted to township primary schools, county middle schools, government academies and provincial universities, as well as village communities and

It is impossible for the clan leaders to cover up the sky with one hand."

Yan Yuan thought for a moment and added: "But the villages and counties in Qingyao implemented the tax farming law together... This is actually a kind of rural toast!

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! What the Qing Yao pays is not only taxes, but also royal laws and rural soldiers. Otherwise, the tax payers will not receive the taxes at all. Moreover, the Qing Yao

The tax collector must be clearly identified, which is equivalent to sealing the land of a township to one person. As time goes by, when the power of these tax collectors develops, the Qingyao will fall apart. This kind of rural sage

The tax package law is really tempting the poison and quenching the thirst. At the beginning, you can receive a lot of money, but over time, haha...

As for Wu Zhou's land equalization method, it is much better than Kangxi's method. I have studied Wu Yingxiong's method these days and found that he actually distributed the farmers in Huguang who had no land and little land to the following meritorious officials, and asked these meritorious officials to send out

The children and servants took them to Sichuan to enclose and develop the land. The wasteland was then given to the farmers, children and servants, and at the same time it served as a fiefdom for the meritorious officials of Wu and Zhou Dynasty.

Although this is also feudalism, the poor households in Huguang have a way out, the wasteland in Sichuan can be reclaimed, and the heroes of Wu Zhou also have their own feudal states, which is regarded as killing three birds with one stone. Although Wu Yingxiong is an unfaithful, unfilial and unjust person

, but doing politics is okay.

In fact, some people are doing this method here. In Fujian, people from the Yanping Palace have been moved to Taiwan to plant sugar cane in recent years."

After listening to Yan Yuan's analysis, Zhu Heji nodded slightly and said: "Yi Zhi, you and Pang Siming will go back to Nanjing immediately to find Huang Zongxi and ask him and his disciples to write an article criticizing the Qing Dynasty in the "Confucian Xunbao"

The demon's system of rural meritocracy." As he spoke, he already laughed, "Zhou Qiguang is a scholar after all, and he actually wants to argue with us... We have Dong Lin's successor Huang Lizhou, and he can't reason with his wife.

A dog-headed military advisor who lost his troops again?"

"Your Majesty, I will pay them all that week..." Pang Siming asked.

"Check!" Zhu Heji said, "But don't alert others... focus on finding out how their money went. If you find out the money, you find out the person! After you find out the person, you want to find out who they are.

It won’t be difficult to do what they want. Once we figure out what they want to do, we can give Kang Mazi some eye drops."
