Chapter 92: Kill the officials and gentry, establish an academy, leaving Donglin Academy with no way out! (Please subscribe)

Zhang Gui heard what he said and asked, "How did you get revenge?"

"The Shen family will be cut off from their humble position!"

Liu Zongmin replied.

After hearing this, Zhang Gui asked: "Are you afraid of their revenge in the future?"

Liu Zongmin replied: "Don't be afraid!"

Zhang Gui nodded: "Get up."

"Thank you, Uncle Guo!"

Liu Zongmin stood up.

Zhang Gui said again: "Tell me in detail the process of your visit to Shen's house this time."

"yes!"

Liu Zongmin said everything.

Zhang Gui nodded after hearing this: "You guys did a good job and were not fooled. However, the Shen family is also insidious enough. They even thought of burning down their own granary to escape capture! Instruct the Experience Department to confiscate the Shen family this time.

Write a report on your experience for internal circulation and learning!”

"yes!"

Zhou Neng, who was waiting beside Zhang Gui, agreed and went to the Experience Department.

At this time, Zhang Gui continued to say to Liu Zongmin: "It's good that you are not afraid, but don't underestimate them, and be on guard at all times. Again, don't underestimate their reactionary degree, and never be fooled by their apparent benevolence and righteousness."

Deceived by morality.”

"What Uncle Guo said is that this time many soldiers and civilians were deceived by the Shen family from the beginning. Many people thought that the Shen family really ran out of food. If President Qian hadn't insisted on collecting the food, even we would have been deceived!"

Liu Zongmin replied.

Zhang Gui nodded: "So we have to let the common people recognize them. We have to do a lot, not just killing people. If we don't want miserable people like your parents to appear again, we have to learn to treat ourselves."

We have many friends to isolate our enemies, but in fact, apart from our tougher fists, we don’t have many friends in Jiangnan."

Liu Zongmin was a smart man, and he quickly understood what Zhang Gui was saying, so he patted his chest and said, "If uncle Guo has anything for me to do, just ask me. Even if I let me die, I am not afraid! I can live in the west now."

When I become an official in a factory, I am satisfied that I can vent my anger on my parents who died tragically that year!"

"I'm not asking you to die."

Zhang Gui said, "You go down first. I will call you when I need you to do something."

Zhang Gui waved his hand.

"I resign from my humble position!"

Liu Zongmin responded and left Zhang Gui's place.

The work of collecting taxes in the West Factory is still going on, and it is accompanied by the work of clearing the land and acres that are responsible for the governor and other Jiangnan civil servants.

Once the acres of land in a place are cleared, the West Factory responsible for collecting taxes will follow suit.

In this process, not only were many hidden fields occupied by wealthy families found, but also in the process of collecting taxes through Xichang, many ordinary people who seemed to be wealthy families with a lot of fertile land were discovered but turned out to be poor households.

The corruption phenomenon of wealthy families colluding with subordinates to put their property in the names of some poor people was discovered.

In addition, just as many female corpses were found in the Shen family, the ugliness of many wealthy families was also uncovered through the liquidation of husbands and tax collection.

Governor Zhao Yan therefore had to deal with many gentry and subordinate officials who committed crimes every day.

Shen Yongjia was also taken to the execution ground for maliciously resisting taxes and being suspected of murdering a large number of girls. The same culprits were officials and subordinates.

"Uncle Guo, Zhao Butang, you traitors and ruthless officials, if you act so recklessly, aren't you afraid that you will end up miserable when the sun sets in the future?!"

But before Shen Yongjia was beheaded, he suddenly screamed and shouted, and his words were full of threats.

After Zhao Yan heard what Shen Yongjia said, he suddenly asked Zhang Gui, who was sitting aside to watch the execution: "Uncle Guo, are you afraid?"

"What are you afraid of? After the sun sets, it will rise again, but after the Shenzhou Land sinks, there will be no hope."

Zhang Gui replied.

When Zhao Yan heard what Zhang Gui said, he sneered and said, "Uncle Guo's words have the same meaning as a person's words."

"Who said such a thing?"

Zhang Gui asked.

"Yuan Liqing (Yuan Keli)", Zhao Yan replied.

"It turned out to be him."

Zhang Gui put his hands behind his head and crossed his legs: "It's true that we have been friends for a long time."

Zhao Yan added: "He also said something, would Uncle Guo want to know?"

"You can say whatever you want, why bother asking!"

Zhang Gui replied.

"He said that Uncle Guo is a sharp sword for our Ming Dynasty! A sharp sword hanging over the heads of our scholar-bureaucrats. From the moment when Uncle Guo decided to develop some industrial products in Xishan, Uncle Guo was a sharp sword.

It came out of its sheath, forcing us scholar-bureaucrats to either die for the sake of self-interest or for the sake of the country!"

Zhao Yan replied.

Zhang Gui pointed at him: "You chose the latter."

Zhao Yan said: "That's right! So, I decided to kill Mr. Sun Ge!"

Zhao Yan said and asked: "Do you think many people will choose to die for the country?"

"Very few! It's better to choose the death method of 'sit back and talk about one's true nature without any problem, and die in retribution to the king'."

Zhang Gui replied.

"What a man who has nothing to do and talks about his heart, and who will die to repay the king when he is in danger. This irony of the uncle's words made many high-ranking Confucian officials too vicious."

Zhao Yan said with a smile, and then said: "However, Uncle Guo is right. There are very few people who really choose to die for the country. If it weren't for Uncle Guo's sharp sword, even I and Yuan Liqing would be forced to do so."

I will never do this again, not everyone dares to offend the entire Shilin."

"You are right, so I decided to let more people among you scholars choose to contribute to the country."

Zhang Gui replied.

Zhao Yan therefore asked: "What does Uncle Guo plan to do?"

"Open the school first."

Zhang Gui replied.

Zhao Yan asked: "What is the meaning of this statement?"

"The public discussion of Jiangnan Scholars is in Donglin Academy, so my uncle decided to build Xilin Academy next to Donglin to guide the world's public discussion! This leaves Donglin Academy with no way out!"

Zhang Gui replied.

"Xilin Academy."

Zhao Yan muttered it once and then asked: "What kind of knowledge does Uncle Guo intend to use to establish Xilin Academy and suppress Donglin's ideas?"

"Useful knowledge."

Zhang Gui replied.

“What a useful knowledge!”

Zhao Yan knew that Donglin scholars were fond of empty talk. Now that he heard what Zhang Gui said, he immediately understood what Zhang Gui meant and asked, "Is there anything you need me to do?"

"I'll tell you after I think about it."

Zhang Gui replied.

Zhao Yan nodded.

Not long after, Zhao Yan dropped his sign because it was already three quarters past noon.

There was a click.

Shen Yongjia and other officials and subordinates who were found guilty of heinous crimes were immediately beheaded, their blood flowed like rivers, and the people cheered endlessly.

The entire Zhejiang and Zhejiang areas were strictly implemented the new policy of clearing land and collecting taxes, which led to the murder of Sun Ruyou, Shen Yongjia and other officials, gentry and subordinates. When batches of confiscated grain were transported to Beijing,

It was learned by all the officials in the capital.

Shen Yongmao, the minister of Taichang Temple, was in great pain because of this and read the family letter and gritted his teeth: "A cruel official! He is really a cruel official! He should be punished!"

After Shen Yongmao said that, he looked at Yang Lian and other civil servants: "Don't you guys want to say something?"

"It is true that cruel officials are hateful, but the root cause is that traitorous officials are in power!"

Yang Lian gritted his teeth and said.

"How to solve it?"
