Downstairs in Jinyu, it was as quiet as death at this time, and all the Confucian scholars present sat blankly and pale. He seemed to have lost the ability to react and muttered to himself.
Those scholars who just echoed the words and did not say any evil words all looked lucky. In the country of Daqian, do not sin with words. The words they said were not enough to warrant conviction.
At most, once people know about it, it will be difficult to enter an official career.
The few people who opened their mouths to curse were as disheartened as death, and all their energy and energy disappeared in this brief moment.
On the contrary, the wealthy merchants were all excited and extremely happy.
"You actually won against him—"
"Your Majesty ascended to power at the age of fifteen. In the past ten years, you have expanded your territory by tens of thousands of miles. You have also laid a huge foundation in the outer regions. Although you are tired of running the country, your military skills are unparalleled. How can such a great founder of the country be like a great merchant? How can this be compared to Emperor Yuan Chen who can only defend the city? How can he really be the faint emperor that Confucian people say he is?"
"Haha! It's ridiculous that those Confucian scholars really think that Your Majesty built the Wine Pond Palace just for pleasure? Your Majesty, he is not a Jie Zhou—"
"I can't stand it for a long time. They are so rude! I really wish your Majesty would catch them and cut them to pieces."
He did not care about the fact that there were many Confucian scholars sitting in the building at this time, and he was full of sarcasm. But at this time, the situation has turned upside down. For the latter, they dare to be angry but dare not speak out, and they are all extremely frustrated.
"Tsk tsk, it's a good thing that I detained my child at home and didn't allow him to come out. This kid was bewitched by the Confucian people, and he actually believed what Zhu Zi said. Those Confucian academies are really a disaster for the children-"
"Now that I have won the victory, I don't know if I can enter the Central Plains. The land south of the Yangtze River is undefeated, so I can capture it, right? The five continents south of the Yangtze River are famously wealthy places."
In the corner on the south side, the three people, 'Yang Ming' and 'Wen Wei', were staring at each other blankly.
As for Zong Xi, he was also in a daze and lost his mind.
The defeat of Dashang was simply unimaginable to him. The Central Plains Dynasty was ten times more powerful than the Qian Kingdom. How could it be possible to lose so easily
However, looking at the unanimous opinions at this time, it seems that there is no lie.
"Were all the eight hundred thousand elites annihilated in front of the Jiuchi Palace and within the Yuan Shen Yuan? It seems that the world is really going to be in chaos."
'Yangming' drank his own wine and sighed. He expected that Yin Yu and the Three Religions would try to break the deadlock.
He also guessed that Dashang might start from the Jiuchi Palace. He had no choice but to enter the battlefield chosen by Qian Kingdom. But he never expected that the big business association would fail so miserably.
Eight hundred thousand people are only equivalent to one-twenty-two of the 18 million army.
However, at this time, Dashang's back had been completely broken by Zong Shou!
North of the Min River, although there are still tens of millions of troops left, they are already meat on the chopping board, ready to be slaughtered and unable to recover.
Without these elite border soldiers, Dashang's north will definitely be even more in trouble. And in the country, chaos will occur more frequently.
"Isn't it just this world that is in chaos?"
That 'Wen Wei' smiled bitterly and frowned. Although the world is in chaos, there are also likely to be frequent disputes among the Confucian sect. Within Confucianism, there are countless schools of thought. In the past, Neo-Confucianism was the dominant sect, but Zhu Zi was suppressing it. The other factions within the Confucian sect could only bow their heads and dare not speak out.
However, after this great change, I don't know how many people will jump out and question the sage Zhu Xi.
"Yang Ming, in your opinion, this Daqian monarch is a living saint. How credible is it?"
He was most concerned about this matter. If Zong Shouzhen was recognized as the sage of heaven and earth, then the situation of Confucianism would be even worse.
That 'Zong Xi' also pricked up his ears, also curious about this matter.
"I don't know this either!"
Yang Ming shook his head. After all, he had never witnessed it with his own eyes, so how could he make a conclusion without knowing the exact information? but-
"But if the king of Daqian is truly a holy king, and has a unicorn to accompany him, then the purple lin flame spears and cavalry of Daomen will definitely destroy the entire army!"
"Um?"
'Wen Wei''s eyes flickered, and he already understood what he meant.
The Holy Beast Qilin King has the power to restrain those Black Flame Golden Qilin Beasts from the Confucian Sect.
Although Zi Linyan Lancer is a top Taoist soldier who is famous throughout the ages, if he encounters a true holy king, he may not be able to resist at all.
The defeat of the three religions seems to be due to this. Otherwise, why did it fail so miserably
"Most likely! In this case, is the policy implemented by this monarch of the Qian Kingdom the true way of a benevolent king? It is recognized by heaven and humanity—"
"How is it possible? It's so absurd-"
Zong Xi was devastated. What happened today had an impact on his ideas, which could be called a subversion.
"It's the living saint!"
Yang Ming looked out the window with dreamy eyes. "As the saying goes, a gentleman will not stand behind a dangerous wall. I am going to move all my family to Donglin. In my opinion, the great merchants will not collapse for a while, but -"
This time, "Wen Wei" was not that surprised. Daqian won a great victory. At this time, he had become the overlord of the cloud world, the country was strong, and the people's livelihood was peaceful. On the other hand, Dachang, after this defeat, was in a state of turmoil. Even if it could still be maintained, it was It won't last long either.
In fact, he had already had this idea in his mind when he heard the news about Daqian's victory, and temporarily moved to Donglin to avoid the troubled times.
"If possible, it is best to serve as an official in Daqian. We want to observe the economic path of this country. We are always looking at it in a fog from outside, and we cannot know the truth. Only after becoming an official and holding a certain amount of power can we explore the root cause."
Zong Xi was taken aback and said urgently: "But the great Shang king personally said that he would burn books, embarrass Confucianism, and destroy our Confucianism."
'Yang Ming' didn't answer, he just looked at each other and smiled at 'Wen Wei'. How could we not know that the king of Daqian was only dissatisfied with the Confucian teachings and Zhu Xi at this time.
I believe that they are not the only ones among the Confucian sect who can see this.
Zong Xi still wanted to speak, but there was another loud cheer outside Jinyu Tower: "Your Majesty has won a great victory, and five great edicts have been announced to the world -"
"Farmers don't have to pay taxes when they farm the land, but they get subsidized money? This, this is really an age-old anecdote!"
"Speaking of my work, the agricultural tax is indeed very small. Instead, the three taxes on industry, commerce, and hunting account for 90%. It doesn't hurt to waive it!"
"Provide pension funds for the workers and peasants of the world? So that the people of Daqian can be provided for in old age and don't have to worry about ten thousand years of desolation? Your Majesty, he is indeed a holy king!"
"An edict to exterminate demons? These demonic people really deserve to die! If it weren't for my insufficient cultivation and only being at the second level, I would have wanted to kill a few demonic demons with my own hands!"
"Abolish the Three Law Departments and reform the Ministry of Law. It no longer obeys the orders of the cabinet and is only supervised by the Senate. After today, the king is under the law? The king breaks the law and is guilty of the same crime as the common people? I don't understand. It's really strange. The king is a sage king who is rarely seen in the world. , why is this necessary?”
"Abolish all corporal punishments? Okay! Okay! Okay! Your Majesty is so benevolent and virtuous! But why couldn't my nephew meet such a holy king earlier? He just took three pieces of other people's money and cut off three fingers. Even if he regrets it now , broken limbs cannot be resurrected—"
"Is it necessary to ban the trading of acres of land in the world and purchase it by the government and distribute it to the landless people? It is not profitable to farm now. I have long wanted to sell some of my family's land. But I don't know how much subsidies the government will give?"
Yangming and Wenwei's eyes flashed slightly, and they were outside Jinyu Tower in a flash.
The place where the notice was posted was not far away, on a bluestone wall 200 feet away.
At this time, this place is already crowded with people, so densely packed that I don’t know how many there are.
Fortunately, both of them have the ability to float. The spiritual eye is more capable of seeing thousands of miles away. At this moment, looking at it from a distance, all the contents of the notice have been taken into account.
That 'Wen Wei' suddenly took a breath of cold air: "As soon as this edict comes out, the hearts of the people in the world will all return to Daqian! If it can be done, the king of Qian Kingdom will indeed be worthy of being a living saint!"
Yang Ming looked around: "The officials and gentry will pay for the food together and divide the land equally. This policy can be said to offend the powerful people in the world. What is strange is that looking at the situation here, these people have no intention of resisting."
Among this crowd, there were many wealthy people and even officials, but some of them were filled with indignation and some dissatisfaction. But most of them had indifferent expressions and didn't care about it.
Obviously Zong Shou's edict did not really touch their pain points.
Is it related to the mercantile policy? Yang Ming was thoughtful.
The income from doing business is far more than from farming, and you may even lose money. For these people, there is no need to keep those lands in their hands.
In fact, both Donglin and Nanfengyun Road are now vast and sparsely populated.
There is still countless land that can be developed. That sect's strategy was probably to prepare for entering Central Yunlu.
If you decide on the national policy first and enter later, you will certainly encounter resistance from powerful families in the Central Plains.
But it is better than in the future, when the national policy is kidnapped by these wealthy families.
The plan is far-reaching!
He became more and more curious about this King of Daqian. It's a pity that I don't have a good reputation and I haven't had the opportunity to meet him -
Shaking his head, Yangming looked at the last edict. A wild laugh was heard next to his ears.
"Is the king under the law? Xunzi's wish and Hanzi's lifelong pursuit were realized by a disciple of Cangshengdao. I wonder what these two people would think if they knew about it? The descendants of Xizi who advocated equality for all people are still alive. Holy Lord, has the sky really opened its eyes?"
The laughter shook for miles, attracting the attention of everyone here.
Even Yang Ming and Wen Wei were equally curious and turned their heads.
I saw a middle-aged prince dressed similarly as a scholar, but unkempt, walking towards the distance.
"Recruit scholars from all over the world to comment on the Confucian scholars. Discuss the merits of Confucianism, comment on the faults of Confucianism! Review Confucianism! So cruel, but I like it! He is truly a sage and hero, and he is much better than Qin Shidi! "
Yang Ming was silent, Zong Shou's edict was indeed cruel. He wanted to cut open the Confucian sect and let everyone see. Wen Wei frowned and wanted to step forward. But Yang Ming stretched out his hand to stop him.
"This person seems to be from the Legalist lineage, Hanzi's lineage!"
