Everyone flies when disaster strikes

More than half an hour later, people in the rainy night stepped on the mud and left in groups.

One night passed and the rain stopped. There seemed to be no trace of last night on this wet dock. Even the footsteps left by many people stepping on the mud were driven away by hundreds of sheep who were about to board the ship and were about to be sold in the capital.

It was trampled to pieces.

Zhang Anshi received one report after another at the county government office.

The report contained arrangements sent from various places.

People and horses everywhere are obviously in place.

And now, seven days have passed.

Seven days is enough.

Zhang Anshi felt relaxed at this time. After many years in Jinyiwei, what he was most afraid of was that something would go wrong in the arrangement process.

When it came to taking action, he actually felt much more relaxed, because officers and soldiers always hunted thieves ten to one, so there was usually no problem.

Zhu Yong came over with a tired look on his face: "Brother, everything is ready."

Zhang Anshi nodded: "As long as it's done, then... let's do it."

"Yes." After Zhu Yong heard this, he turned around and left without saying anything.

Chen Jinye, who was sitting aside, was trembling with fear.

As soon as Zhu Yong left, he couldn't help but said: "The governor's arrangement is..."

Zhang Anshi raised his head and glanced at him: "You really want to know, don't regret it if you know it."

For the past seven or eight days, Chen Jinye had been by Zhang Anshi's side every day, and he had become quite familiar with it. He pondered for a moment, and seemed to have made up his mind: "Since I will obey, I hope the governor will not hesitate to inform you."

Zhang Anshi: "It's very simple, it's a test of human nature."

Chen Jinye said: "This... can the governor make it clear?"

Zhang Anshi said: "Don't you scholars often say that punishing people without teaching is cruelty? Your Majesty is the king's father and the father of all the people in the world. If your sons make mistakes, then give them a chance to see if they know anything.

It’s called when enough is enough.”

Chen Jinye probably heard something, but he didn't ask about the details. He just felt his heart pounding at this moment.

Zhang Anshi smiled: "For the same reason, Your Majesty is the Emperor. When the Emperor acts, he must naturally follow the rules. Without rules, there would be no Fangyuan. Now let's see who wants to break the rules."

Chen Jinye said: "I just want to ask, will the person who made the mistake mentioned by the governor ever find his way back?"

"It depends on them, but... I don't have much confidence in them. Otherwise, there is no need to use the model camp. Just the Jin Yiwei is enough."

Chen Jinye raised his head and stared at Zhang Anshi. Finally, he suppressed his blush and sighed: "How did things come to this point? If... they were less greedy, they probably wouldn't have such a result."

Zhang Anshi shook his head: "How is this possible?"

Chen Jinye said: "How is it impossible?"

Zhang Anshi said: "Is County Magistrate Chen really stupid because of reading?"

Chen Jinye: "..."

Zhang Anshi said: "In order to gain benefits, how many fathers, sons and brothers will turn against each other, and how many will start lawsuits just to fight for a few feet of land, and even prevent people from interacting with each other for decades. Do you think those people

, after reading a few sentences from the Four Books and Five Classics, and claiming to be a gentleman, do you think you can really be transcendent?"

Chen Jinye said awkwardly: "Not everyone may be like this."

Zhang Anshi sighed: "Mr. Chen, have you ever thought about why some people can be rich and have thousands of acres of fertile land?"

Chen Jinye said: "It's my ancestor..."

Zhang Anshi interrupted him and said: "Let me put it bluntly, just like merchants, merchants live for profit. The only thing they care about is to continuously increase the value of the money in their hands. Look at those merchants, are they?

Isn’t the family fortune big enough? But they still run around every day and still feel that their income is not enough. It is precisely because of such ambition that these wealthy families have become today."

"By the same token, let's talk about the gentry in your county. Isn't it like this? Once the railway is built, it will bring such great benefits. Others offer such high prices. They earn hundreds of taels per acre of land, and thousands of taels of silver. You earn ten taels.

Eight taels, what will be the final result?"

"this……"

Zhang Anshi calmly analyzed it for him: "The final result is that other relatives and friends will laugh at him, and his tribe will beat their chests and feet, and denounce him as a prodigal son. What is terrible is that other gentry will take this opportunity to

Get a lot of wealth, complete more land acquisitions, and

This person still had to make a living by renting. Then by his next generation, the gentry who were brothers to him in the past would have three, five, or ten times the size of their land, and they could even directly compete with the prefect.

He drinks alcohol every day, and his status is no longer equal to those of others."

"Do you know the consequences of inequality?" Zhang Anshi stared at Chen Jinye and smiled.

Chen Jinye lowered his head and said nothing.

"Such a person seems to have adhered to the so-called modest gentleman's style, but in fact, he is ridiculed and looked down upon by others. Even his future descendants may end up suffering from family problems because he is not greedy or bold enough.

The suffering of loss. More wealth and land not only means greater wealth, but also means... greater ability to resist risks. Let me ask you, when encountering disaster

In 2008, a person with a hundred acres of land might become destitute overnight, but what about a person with a thousand or ten thousand acres of fertile land? In your eyes, the so-called gentry families read books from sages every day, but in fact, they all

In a race, every family dare not stop, let alone look back. Only by constantly sprinting forward and leaving behind those around them can the family prosper forever."

"If you have read history, then you should know that land has always been annexed, and then more and more were annexed. Those who did not annex quickly enough will eventually be eliminated. But how can we annex more

How about taking more land and grabbing more wealth?”

"In my opinion, it's not that everyone doesn't understand that their own land prices are really evil, and it's not that they don't know what the consequences will be if they do this. It's just... they have to do it like this, as if they have huge profits.

In front of me, merchants don’t have the same principles of benevolence and righteousness.”

"The only difference between them and the merchants is that the merchants talk about profit, but they are more shameless. They talk about being gentlemen and don't care about fame and fortune, but their actions are more ruthless and vicious."

Chen Jinye shook his head and opened his mouth to say something, but when the words came to his lips, he was at a loss for words.

Zhang Anshi said calmly: "Let's wait and see."

Jiujiangcang.

A group of captains suddenly appeared.

A dozen people appeared directly at the treasury gate, and the guard in front of the gate was about to speak.

Then one of the leaders took out his waist badge and shouted: "Stand down."

The officer was astonished when he saw this badge, and when he saw these people dressed in fish uniforms, with their eyes above their heads.

So, he quickly took a few steps back and bowed down.

The general flag didn't say much. With a wave of his hand, the captains behind him swarmed up and set up sentries directly.

The commander-in-chief said to the officer: "Where is the warehouse envoy?"

"Just stay inside to check in."

The commander-in-chief pressed the knife and entered the warehouse without saying a word.

After a moment, there was an exclamation.

But it was Ambassador Cang who was in charge of this place and said: "What...what is this going to do?"

"According to the order." The general flag said calmly: "From today on, the mansion will be taken over by Nanzhen Fusi. The handover will begin now. All accounts will be handed over. After the handover, you can leave."

After hearing this, Ambassador Cang's face changed drastically, and he stammered for a moment: "No, it can't be like this... like this... this... why didn't you tell me... my... lower official..."

The commander-in-chief sternly said: "Those who resist the order will be killed without mercy."

As soon as this statement came out, the ambassador in this warehouse was trembling with fear and obediently delivered the goods.

Then, in a flash, he ran towards the Jiujiang Magistrate's Yamen.

The same was probably true for the counties below. Suddenly, the Jin Yiwei appeared and began to directly guard the warehouse, prohibiting anyone from entering or exiting, re-locking the warehouse, driving away all the officers, and setting up sentries by the captains.

All this happened so fast that no one even responded.

As a result, Jiujiang Prefecture received the news that the treasury was suddenly blocked, and quickly informed the counties. However, reports from each county were also sent in an endless stream. It turned out that all the warehouses had been suddenly blocked by Jin Yiwei.

Take over, prohibit everyone from entering or exiting, and no one can interfere.

This moment...it really caught everyone off guard.

In this Jiujiang government office, everyone started to circle around like ants on a hot pot.

Something big is going to happen.

…………

Zhu Neng had already arrived at Nanchang Mansion.

Here, he received quite a warm welcome.

He was an imperial envoy, and Liu Guan, the Minister of Rites, and Xu Qi, the chief envoy, accompanied him almost day and night.

In addition, some local generals from Jiangxi also came one after another.

Hearing that Zhu Neng liked to drink, a lot of old wine was brought here. Zhu Neng was overjoyed and enjoyed banquets with everyone every day.
