Seeing that the time was almost over, Li Guodong finally convinced Lu Xiangsheng. Finally, the cabinet passed the decree issued by Zhang Yan and Zhou Hou 2-1, depriving those scholars who came to Beijing to cause trouble!

The green insects spent more than half a month in the capital. In the end, they waited not for the queen mother to come out to see them, nor for the news that the cabinet announced the welcome to the vassal kings into the capital to ascend the throne, but for the news that they deprived them of their fame!

At this moment, all the scholars were in a mess. Fame and fortune are better than their lives for them! Especially when they were deprived of fame or fortune, they were deprived of fame and fortune by the state. This means that they will never have any fate with fame in their lives! Do those who have been deprived of fame and fortune by the supreme ruler still want to take the exam again? Don’t think about it, let alone not being able to enter the exam room, even if they pass the exam, they dare not be admitted.

After hearing this bad news, many people went to jump to Xuanwu Lake or the Yangtze River. Those who jumped into the lake and jumped into the river, and they just fed the fish, without saying that they knew it. However, some people jumped into the Qinhuai River and were rescued.

"Oh, Mr. Yao, what are you unable to think about it? Why do you want to dive?" Yao Qisheng, who was rescued, just woke up and faced an old woman with heavy makeup and thick pink on her face covering her wrinkles. This woman was the madam in a flower building.

"Let me die! The scholars have been deprived of the exam. I can't take the exam again in the future. What's the point of living?" Yao Qisheng cried so hard that his pear blossoms were filled with rain.

The scholars outside were all in pain and their fame were deprived of their fame, which meant that they would never have the chance to participate in the imperial examination again, which was equivalent to depriving their lives. If a scholar who was powerless to be a chicken could not participate in the imperial examination, what else could they do in the future? Although most of these scholars' families have land and property, without fame, it means that they are like ordinary landlords, who have to pay heavy taxes and have to bear labor. In the end, the fields of their family will be slowly eroded by those with fame and fortune.

But soon, a big news that was good news for those who were deprived of fame and fortune, but bad news for the gentry all over the world came out.

The next morning, Li Guodong went to the cabinet and threw a bombshell to Shi Kefa.

"What?" Shi Kefa widened his eyes, "Officials and gentry are working together to pay for food? This, this..."

Shi Kefa was of course surprised, because Li Guodong wanted Shi Kefa to write such a memorial, and then hand it over to the Sili Supervisor for the rewards and then hand it over to the Empress Dowager. After the Empress Dowager reviewed it, she stamped a large seal and finally sent it back to the cabinet. This matter was decided.

But this matter that has been infamous for thousands of years is not the edict of the empress dowager. If the edict of the empress dowager and the cabinet is approved by the cabinet, although the cabinet will be scolded, it can be said that the capital was sent by the state to force the factory guards to pass it, and it can be reluctantly explained. But now the cabinet itself reported that it has proposed that officials and gentry pay the food together! This matter that has been infamous for thousands of years is that Shi Kefa, the chief minister of the cabinet, has come to take the blame.

Of course, Shi Kefa would not agree. Li Guodong continued: "Master Shi Ge, aren't you afraid that so many scholars who have been deprived of their fame will cause trouble after returning? If officials and gentry work together to pay food together, that would be unfair? Those scholars will not have any objections after returning."

"But it is fair to those scholars, but it is unfair to other gentry. If this happens, will the gentry in the world cause trouble?" Shi Kefa said with a slight sarcastic look on his face.

"It's best to make trouble? It's best to make trouble. Do you really think that my 20,000 army is vegetarian?" Li Guodong snorted coldly, "Now the Ming Dynasty wants to raise an army, to attack the Central Plains in the north, and restore the country, but to develop a new army, the money is not enough. The gentry in the world occupied the most land, but refused to pay taxes and added all the taxes to the people. The thieves in the northwest rebels are the best examples. Officials force the people to rebel, and many high-ranking officials in the capital were nobles, because they refused to pay silver for the emperor of the Great Bank. In the end, they died under the thief's sticks. Even the brain was clipped out, and the silver was not saved. Does Master Shi Ge still want to see this scene happening in Nanjing again?"

Shi Kefa lamented: "Oh, it's a terrible thing for thousands of years! It's a terrible thing for thousands of years!"

"Master Shi Ge, this is also for the sake of the country and the country. As for the evaluation of future generations of you, justice is in the hearts of the people." Li Guodong said.

Then, Li Guodong drew a world map: "This is the map of the world drawn by the Thais. Mr. Shi Ge, you see, this is our Ming Dynasty. On the other side of the vast sea, there is much larger land than our Ming Dynasty. If we want to solve the land problem, we need more money to immigrate overseas, and there are inexhaustible land we can take. The integration of officials and gentry not only solves the problem of money for us, but also allows the gentry to form overseas immigration teams and seek more land than our Ming Dynasty. Mr. Shi Ge, think about it yourself, if everyone doesn't go out and squeeze in our Ming Dynasty, the land will be merged and the population will increase. Although I have recruited bandits, who can guarantee that there will be no bandits in the future?"

Finally, Li Guodong said: "If we want to make our Ming Dynasty last forever, we need to ask for land from outside!"

"Who is willing to go to the wild land?" Shi Kefa sighed.

Li Guodong smiled and said, "According to the empress dowager's original intention, those scholars who came to Beijing to make trouble were prepared to let the factory guards start a massacre. Li persuaded the empress dowager. Although they were deprived of their fame, they could go to the wilderness to educate the local people! Mr. Shi Ge, even if they were barbarians, those who entered my China were also my China, which required cultural recognition."

Shi Kefa is not the kind of person who can be scared by Li Guodong's knife. If he was the kind of person who was afraid of death, how could he be loyal and unyielding in real history and finally died bravely? But Shi Kefa is another loyal minister, and he hopes that the Ming Dynasty will last forever. Looking at the map carefully, Shi Kefa finally nodded: "Forget it, I will be a sinner forever."

Li Guodong laughed: "Master Shi Ge, you are not a sinner for the ages, and you will be remembered forever in the future!"

Subsequently, the cabinet introduced the policy of "officials and gentry as one worker, and paying food together". In parallel with this policy, policies such as encouraging immigration to overseas, asking for land overseas, educating local natives, and turning barbarians into Chinese.

The officials and gentry were working together and the food was paid together was formulated by the cabinet and sent to the Sili Supervisor. Wang Chengen happily criticized the red and sent it to the two empress dowagers. Of course, Zhang Yan and Zhou Hou happily stamped the big seal and sent it back to the cabinet, so that this decree would take effect naturally.

Sure enough, after the official and gentry were released, Shi Kefa was scolded to death.

However, the policy of encouraging the claim of land overseas is also introduced simultaneously.

In order to encourage immigration, the cabinet posted a list everywhere, stating that: Why can Thai people's ships always transport a large amount of gold and silver, and exchange silk and ceramics from my Ming Dynasty? It is because there are mountains of gold and silver opposite the sea! When you go there, you will have inexhaustible gold and silver treasures. As long as you are willing to go overseas, you can make a fortune.

After the policy of integrating officials and gentry to pay food was released, it had little impact on the Donglin Party, because under the transformation of Li Guodong, the Donglin Party has become an emerging bourgeoisie dominated by maritime commerce and manufacturing. Instead, they are more grateful to Li Guodong for the large-scale navigation policy, which is extremely powerful for the Donglin Party.

The most intense opposition was of course the traditional land gentry.

For those people, Li Guodong transformed them with one hand, and held a knife in the other hand, and took tough measures against those stubborn guys.
