I am the king of the dead

Zhongju can change life and realize class transition.

Like one person attaining Taoism and ascending to heaven, Zhongju really rewrites the fate of the whole family, and it is enough to benefit future generations.

Fan Jinzhongju's description seems exaggerated, but the grand occasion of Ming Dynasty Zhongju is only more exaggerated than Fan Jinzhongju.

This kind of systematic fraud in the examination room made Zhu Qiyu think of Pei Lun, Zuo Buzheng in Shandong Province, who was the chief examiner of the examination during the orthodox years.

This investigation, it doesn't matter, Zhu Qiyu was taken aback.

During the orthodox period, there were nearly 1000 juren in Jiangnan provinces, all of whom were elected by fraud. They were active in various prefectures and counties as magistrates and promoted officials.

Moreover, many academic officials were involved in the case.

Zhu Qiyu was almost bloody angry!

This is the systemic usurpation of public power by giant businessmen, wealthy businessmen and gentry!Powerful wealthy businessmen and wealthy businessmen are seeking political power!

To put it narrowly, this is digging into his corner as the Great Ming Emperor.

Of course Zhu Qiyu had to strike hard.

All the students kneeling on the ground outside Chengtian Gate, listening to the big Han generals shouting the imperial decree, finally understood why His Majesty suddenly became furious and arrested them.

These students' eyes were red and they were trembling. His Majesty didn't say they were flat, but they could only kneel down. In addition to their anger, they felt a kind of shame and deep guilt towards His Majesty.

His Majesty was upholding justice for them, but they ran to Chengtian Gate to make trouble, to show their concerted efforts!

The shame was even greater than the anger.

The Imperial College of the Ming Dynasty is indeed the highest institution of learning, but it is actually similar to the private school in Santiao Street of Gongyuan. It is easier to win the exam if you invite a lecturer to teach.

The imperial students in the Imperial College are at best from well-to-do families, and definitely not high-ranking.

All the wealthy families have gone to this kind of private schools and family studies.

There is a quota for the imperial examinations in the Ming Dynasty. These imperial students from wealthy families have studied hard for more than ten years and failed the imperial examination.

How can Tai students not be angry?

Their whole life of hard study is as ridiculous as a joke.

Zhu Qiyu looked at the student and said earnestly: "You guys are still too young."

"Being provoked by a few words, I ran to Chengtianmen to make trouble."

"Jin Yiwei doesn't need time to handle the case? Doesn't it take time to make up for it?"

"Recklessly making the matter public, these bastards have destroyed the evidence. I know they are guilty, and you know they are guilty, but you can't punish their crimes. Is this the result you want to see?"

Zhu Qiyu suddenly took out the pistol, raised his hand, and fired violently, with the sound of gunpowder explosion and the lead whistling out.

This sudden move shocked everyone!

Zhu Qiyu took a gun, put the flintlock pistol back into the stock of the gun, and said: "In the future, let the bullets fly for a while."

As soon as he finished speaking, a bird fell to the ground with a clatter.

He fired the pistol just now, and he was shooting a bird.

In the blink of an eye, he set an example and told the Tai students with realistic examples that there are some things that can be patiently waited.

He didn't shoot a gun to kill, but to shoot a bird that flew over his head.

"I would like to obey His Majesty's instructions!" A Tai student grabbed the ground with his head and shouted loudly.

Your Majesty really...

Countless Tai students shouted chaotically, and soon the chaos gathered into a torrent, and outside Chengtianmen, there were shouts and shouts: "I respect your majesty's instructions!"

Zhu Qiyu stretched out his hand, pressed it down and said, "All the Tai students here today will not be allowed to take the imperial examination in the future. From now on, they will go to Liaodong, Ryukyu, and Antu herdsmen in the Western Regions for five years before they can take the exam again."

More than [-] imperial students changed their colors when they heard the words, but they could only kneel on the ground, Nunuo dared not speak, everyone was trembling with fear, His Majesty was still the same Majesty, cruel, merciless and ungrateful.

Zhu Qiyu looked at the Tai student kneeling on the ground, of course he could choose to forgive completely, choose to let it go, and pretend nothing happened, which can effectively buy the hearts of Jiangnan Shilin.

But he didn't do that, but said solemnly: "I will teach you another truth today."

"Anything you do without thinking twice and being bewitched by others, you have to bear the consequences."

"The truth from more than a thousand years ago, Ji Wenzi thinks twice before giving it to you."

In Zhu Qiyu's case, there is no saying that the law does not blame the public, since the trouble has come under Cheng Tian's family, they will have to pay the price for what they have done.

Zhu Qiyu can't indulge them. Their approach can be simply summarized as distribution according to trouble. If Zhu Qiyu indulges them, it is lenient.

Yuan Yikuan lost the world.

"Let's go." Zhu Qiyu waved his hand before returning to the car.

Only then did Yu Qian and Li Xian get into the car and follow His Majesty, Yu Qian frowned and said: "I still plan to persuade Your Majesty to be merciful, Your Majesty is so lenient this time, I think that participating students should never take the exam."

"Your Majesty actually gave them a chance to reform themselves."

Yu Qian's duty is to persuade His Majesty the way of benevolence and forgiveness. He was very worried that His Majesty would directly treat these Tai students as rebels and suppress them. Fang, just not allowed to take the exam within five years.

Zhu Qiyu looked at the imperial student outside the window who was taking a concubine exam, and said in a daze: "The imperial student is still studying, and this is the most passionate time."

"If there is a day, I mean a day, when even the blood of the Tai student is cold, then it will be the time when the Da Ming's breath is exhausted."

"By then, Daming will be dead."

In fact, even at the end of the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, the blood of the students of the Central Plains Dynasty was still hot, and they worked hard for China to get out of the humiliation predicament.

Whether it is a student or an ordinary man in the Central Plains Dynasty, blood is hot, which is one of the backbones in Mr. Lu Xun's mouth.

It is also the root cause of China's long history, still standing on the world stage, and still occupying a position in distribution.

Yu Qian closed his eyes for a long time before opening them and said: "Your Majesty is wise, what I say is sincere and not flattery."

His Majesty's way of benevolence and forgiveness, why should he persuade him?

Every time I advise His Majesty on the way of benevolence and forgiveness, His Majesty always persuades me.

Zhu Qiyu opened the car window, and said to Lu Zhong who was riding a tall black horse outside the window: "Lu Zhong, you lead someone to find out the person who provoked the Tai students this time. If I can control the Tai students, I can naturally kill them."

"No matter who is involved, investigate to the end."

"The minister leads the decree!" Lu Zhong's voice carried a bone-chilling chill. His Majesty hadn't killed anyone for a long time, and they all forgot the fear of being dominated by the Ming Emperor.

Li Xian shuddered when he heard this, and said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, that, that statement, I can explain it."

Zhu Qiyu lectured in the square, but Li Xian could hear it clearly.

Your Majesty still remembers it!

Chapter 665 Fame and fortune touch people's hearts

Li Xian wanted to explain the old account at the beginning. After all, it has been so long, and it is unexpected that His Majesty still remembers it.

Li Xian originally planned to die, but he even reported that the state government scolded the emperor, no matter how he looked at it, he would not survive, and he even arranged for Yuniang's mother and child.

His Majesty had forgiven him at the beginning, and he was quite sure of his ability.

Zhu Qiyu didn't give him a chance to explain, but talked about Nanya affairs.

When he was in Jinan Mansion, Zhu Qiyu did not talk to the beautiful woman by Daming Lake, but communicated with Pei Lun for a long time.

Pei Lun has been in the local area for many years, with ups and downs, and knows very well the difficulties of being an official in the local area.

"There is also something about coercing the people in Nanya to order the state government?" Zhu Qiyu didn't intend to pursue Li Xian's forced and helpless appeal at the beginning. If he pursued it, he would have pursued it at the beginning.

Li Xian made an indelible contribution to Daming's lifting of the huge thunder of Nanya's arrogance.

How to use Li Xian's talent to make Daming great again is the key.

Li Xian said solemnly: "Yes."

"Is Renhe County a special situation, or a common phenomenon?" Zhu Qiyu asked again.

Li Xian bowed his head and said, "It's a common phenomenon."

"Yeah." Zhu Qiyu looked out the window and stopped talking.

It is an unspoken rule to bargain with the local sages, clans, gentry and the court to coerce the common people to order the affairs of the state government.

Take summer time as an example.

Xia Shizheng took over [-]% of the official tax and business tax in Renhe County, which was not a contract, but a kind of arrogance. There was no official tax package system in Ming Dynasty.

The law of the Ming Dynasty: Anyone who collects the summer tax will open the warehouse on May [-]th, and it will be fully paid by the end of July.For autumn grain, the warehouse will be opened on the first day of October, and it will be in full supply at the end of December.

Forty percent will be kept locally, and the rest will be shipped to Beijing and put into storage before February.

Every summer and autumn when the two taxes come, the Renhe county government goes to the countryside to collect high taxes, but they can't collect a grain of rice, and the government offices can't collect it, but summer time is fine.

Xia Shizheng asked Renhe County to be exempted.

Xia and Qiu Liangzheng of Renhe County should pay 14 shi, but Xia Shizheng asked the Renhe county government to exempt [-]%, that is, to pay only [-] shi for [-] shi.

If the Renhe county government doesn't agree, then go and collect taxes yourself!

Let's see if the villagers pay their food well, or fight against taxes with arms!

In fact, the vast majority of villagers will choose to resist the tax and get a lot of feathers. In the end, the county government has to bear the risk of the government forcing the people to rebel.

After the Renhe County Government agreed to Xia Shizheng's request, Xia Shizheng would hand over the two taxes to the Renhe County Government on time.

Xia Shizheng is coming down this round, is it to seek blessings for the villagers?

In the summer time, two taxes in summer and autumn are collected in the countryside, and [-]% of the tax is exempted.

The Renhe Xia family obtained about 12 yuan in summer and autumn taxes from the villagers, handed it over to the county government for [-] shi, and could keep about [-] shi in income.

The Renhe county government can only report the disaster and ask the court to waive it. If the court refuses to waive it, it will default, which will result in tax arrears.

This kind of trick where the gentry and the yamen jointly owe taxes, the court pursues the arrears, and finally the court exempts the tax arrears, dragged on from the early Southern Song Dynasty to the outbreak of the Jin Shengtan crying temple case.

In the 18th year of Shunzhi, Jin Shengtan's hometown Wu County, Suzhou, the new county magistrate didn't know the rules, refused to grant the local gentry an exemption, and forcibly pursued the five-year tax arrears. Jin Shengtan's crying temple case broke out.

In fact, the 300 years of the Qing Dynasty failed to solve this problem.

The gameplay of later generations is just a new name called tax collection.

Zhu Qiyu looked at Xing'an, and asked with some hesitation: "Xing'an, when Xu Youzhen and Chen Yi were in Zhangqiu to control the water, it seemed that there was something they owed, which forced Xu Youzhen and Chen Yi to kill all the gentry. Putting grain in the warehouse is the way to quell civil unrest, there must be such a thing.”

"I remember that the memorials for the impeachment of Xu Youzhen and Chen Yi piled up on a table."

Xing'an took out a heavy memorandum from his sleeve, and flipped through it. Although Xing'an couldn't remember clearly what happened in the first year of Jingtai, he had a pen and recorded it as an official document.

Xing'an turned to the records and said: "Xu Youzhen and Chen Yi did not pay back when they were controlling the water in Zhang Qiu. At that time, Zhang Qiu was hit by the flood of the canal burst."

"But the gentry's private request, regardless of it, chased the people down and destroyed their homes, their families were destroyed, and almost caused a civil disturbance. Xu Youzhen and Chen Yi had to kill the gentry and release food for disaster relief."

"For the past seven years, Zhang Qiu has paid the summer and autumn taxes in full every year."

"Shen Yi, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, also gave a Taoist memorial in February this year, praising Shandong, saying that most of Shandong is full, and only some of them are exempted because of the Ministry of Industry's management of the Yellow River."

Zhu Qiyu said with emotion: "Shandong without the Confucian mansion is indeed better. No matter how you look at it, I am very satisfied. Pei Lun has done a really good job."

"Thunder, rain and dew are all the grace of the king." Yu Qian, who is Pei Lun's fellow-ranking member, said naturally.

Pei Lun did a good job, leaning against a big tree to enjoy the shade to a certain extent.

Mizhou Shipping Department changed the industrial structure of Shandong, and the Confucian Mansion was a big case. His Majesty is still chasing down the remnants of the Confucian Mansion, even the remnants of the Confucian Mansion as far away as Japan.

Almost all the Shandong gentry were trembling with fright, for fear that the guillotine would fall behind their necks tomorrow, so naturally they didn't dare to do anything wrong.

Pei Lun's own ability also played a great role.

However, during the orthodox years, Pei Lun was also very capable as the chief examiner of the general examination. In the end, he resigned from office and returned to his hometown to compile the county annals.

The referee does not allow you to be an official, even if you have great abilities, you can only hide your strength and bide your time.

"Is there a way for Yu Shaobao to deal with this kind of thing?" Zhu Qiyu looked at Yu Qian and asked how to deal with it.

Yu Qian thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty already has a countermeasure in mind, why should I say more?"

Seeing that Yu Qian didn't answer, Zhu Qiyu said, "I plan to kill chickens to scare monkeys."

"And this trick seems to be very useful. At least for now, the gentry in Shandong are very well-behaved."

Yu Qian agreed deeply and said: "I also think it is very useful."

The reason for Yu Qian's refusal to speak is very simple. One of his important responsibilities is to persuade His Majesty to forgive, but the solution to this matter is violence, and he can't open his mouth.

This kind of coercion of the people to order the state capital is a kind of usurpation of imperial power.
