After January, the local area became more and more chaotic. The data from the national newspaper showed:
There were more than 70 officials who were directly killed by the'villagers', among them there were two or seven county magistrates, and one five-prong judge.
There were more than two hundred supervisory officials at all levels who encountered'bandits' on the road, and dozens of people were killed or injured.
Nanzhili uncompressed the grain ship that was heading to the capital. Six ships were overturned and more than forty crew members were missing.
And the number of officials who chose not to work was as high as more than 300, and there were countless people who reported sickness and took leave, avoided doing things, and caused stumbling, and even direct confrontation.
The governors of the provinces and the governor’s yamen have people who petition, protest, hit the wall at the door, take poison, and directly lead people to attack the yamen at all levels.
In a huge world, there is chaos, and things are endless and varied.
These have all changed into pressure, and they have poured into the capital one after another.
Zhou Yanru was able to resist the first resistance at first, but in the end he couldn't hold it anymore.
With Qian Qianyi and Li Banghua, he blocked Zhou Zheng in the classroom and wanted to'respond seriously'.
Inside Zhou Zheng's class room, there were four square tables and four court officials standing in a corner. The atmosphere was very solemn.
Naturally, Zhou Yanru would not be the first to speak, and Li Banghua was out of the way again, so Qian Qianyi had to be the first to speak.
Qian Qianyi looked at Zhou Zheng sadly, and said, "Zheng Xibo, you have also seen that the world is in chaos. If this continues, not to mention the imperial court will be paralyzed, but it will be another'ten years inevitable'. I don’t know..."
Zhou Zheng was in his spare time and said: "I don't want to listen to the problem, I want a solution to the problem."
Qian Qianyi glanced at Zhou Yanru and said more bitterly: "Zheng Xibo, the lower officials are also thinking hard these days. It is not against the reform to become stronger, but the method can be changed. First, I am going to be lenient, you The evaluation rules of the government are too strict. Can it be abolished? Song and pine are also acceptable. Second, land transactions should be voluntary, and cannot be forced to sell. Otherwise, what is the difference between the court and the bandits? Second, the state and politics of our country are dying. It should be tax cuts, recuperation and interest, how can you increase taxes? Why not let it go..."
Zhou Zheng glanced at Qian Qianyi and said indifferently: "The imperial court cares about unification. How long can the court be changed? Besides, this is a swing plan. Whenever there is a problem, you will shrink back. What is the face of the court? What else can be done? Do I still need to do it?"
Qian Qianyi's mouth twitched. This is a'small problem', and the world will be in chaos soon!
Seeing Zhou Yanru still not speaking, Qian Qianyi had to bite the bullet and said: "Zheng Xibo, the dismissal is not against the reform, but, don't be so impatient, we can take it slowly, slowly. Now the officials are under pressure. Too big, they have become the main force against the reform, and if this continues, sooner or later the world will be in chaos..."
Zhou Zheng glanced at Zhou Yanru as usual, and said: "Wei Zhongxian is so unpopular, and the country has not caused chaos for so long. I just started this reform, and the world is in chaos? Do you think I am too forgiving and weak. Or is it you, don’t they bully others and fear hardship?"
Zhou Yanru and Qian Qianyi twitched their mouths, and Zhou Zheng just slapped them in the face.
Li Banghua glanced at the two of them, and said seriously with Zhou Zheng: "Zheng Xibo, I hope you can think twice. The gentry is the foundation of my Da Ming. You have to collect his taxes while you want their land, and you want them on both sides. They will not sit back and wait for the death of their lives, and it is possible for civil commotions and even mutinies to occur."
Zhou Zheng nodded to Li Banghua and said: "You finally said something useful. Gentlemen are indeed the foundation of my Ming Dynasty, but they also corrupted my Ming Dynasty foundation. More than 60% of the land was nationalized to consolidate the country's foundation. There is no discussion. The establishment of a reasonable and long-term tax system is also the guarantee of Cathay Pacific."
Qian Qianyi, Li Banghua's expression moved, he was mentally prepared before he came, but Zhou did not expect to let it go.
Zhou Yanru couldn't sit still, sighed, and said: "I was a little impulsive before, adding fuel to the fire. Now I must find a way to lower the temperature, otherwise we will be torn apart sooner or later."
People are terrible, and now the whole world is full of criticism, who can bear it
Zhou Zheng took a sip of tea casually again, and said: "Well, Enke ahead of schedule, all in the capital scientific expedition, mid-April."
Zhou Yanru had previously spoken out about expelling many people from the imperial examination qualifications. Hearing Zhou Zheng's words, his expression changed slightly and said, "What are you going to do?"
Zhou Zhengdao: "They are the ones who are tested, but we are the ones who fail."
Zhou Yanru was relieved that if so many people were prevented from taking scientific research, a major event would have to come out.
Li Banghua was still very upset, and said, "I'm afraid this is not enough. I have to give the local officials some sweetness."
Now the troublemaker is a'senior', and the other is an official official.
Zhou Zhengdao: "The Ministry of officials has been investigating the administrations at all levels for a long time. After a while, officials will be promoted on a large scale, especially Nanzhili."
If you want to be promoted, you have to have a place, a carrot and a pit, and before the'large-scale promotion', it will inevitably be dismissed on a large scale.
Li Banghua looked at Zhou Yanru and Qian Qianyi, and their expressions were calm, frowned, took a deep breath, and said nothing.
Obviously, the'Two Weeks' had been discussed long ago and a tacit agreement was reached. I am afraid that the division of the various official positions has been completed.
Zhou Yanru was silent for a moment, and said: "Wait a minute, it is more appropriate to use the name of Jingcha to reduce some criticisms."
Zhou Zheng nodded casually and said, "Then take the scientific examination first."
Zhou Yanru and Qian Qianyi looked at each other and didn't insist on anything.
At this moment, they don't want to give in. There is no reason for the court to give in. Even if it is wrong, it must be wrong to the end!
While Zhou Zheng and others were discussing, a big event suddenly appeared in the capital.
Shuntian Mansion Yin didn't know what was going on, and sent a large number of yamen to impeach the "seniors" who protested all over the street, and even sealed up an academy where the Fushe often assembled.
This is like cooking oil on a raging fire, and the capital is instantly chaotic.
Hundreds of people rushed into the Shuntian Mansion, hitting people when they saw it, and smashing things when they saw it. If the Shuntian Mansion Yin didn't see the opportunity quickly, he would have to beat him.
This group of people smashed the Shuntian Mansion and ran to the cabinet compound in droves.
With the continuous spread of news and rumors, along the way, the number of people quickly surpassed a thousand, with various "weapons", they are about to kill the cabinet compound.
Zhou Yanru was shocked, and quickly mobilized people to surround the Prime Minister's compound and even the palace to prevent these people from invading. At the same time, he strictly ordered no action and no more troubles.
Qian Qianyi stood in front of the window of the class room, looking outside, listening to the constant shouts, his heart was frightened.
He still remembered that Gu Bingqian returned to Hangzhou and was rushed into the yard by angry people, killing more than a dozen people and burning the yard. (End of this chapter)
