Chapter 442 The old man died for Taoism
I thought you would be care about your old love and give him a chance?" Feng Cheng said in a muffled voice. The old man was also quite surprised. Mu Chun ran from all over to Shu Cheng surrender, but Liu Chun said something and rushed to Xi'an without even being in the city overnight. This is too straightforward!
"Uncle, do you feel sorry for me?" Liu Chun asked with a smile.
Feng Cheng shook his head, "What's so heartbreaking? When the old and new alternate, whoever dies and lives depends on luck! Mu Chun's head and mouse secretly colluded with the court. Local snakes like him will be eliminated even if the new king ascends the throne in the future. And even if the new king doesn't do anything, you won't let him go, right?"
"Yeah?"
Feng Cheng nodded seriously, "Absolutely, when you were in Yunnan, I knew that you had never mercilessly eliminated the toast. Little did you know that the largest toast in Yunnan is the Mu family. Do you think you can let them go?"
Liu Chun stumbled for a moment and suddenly burst into laughter, "Uncle really has a delicate heart. In the past, I underestimated my uncle's ability."
Feng Cheng snorted disdainfully. I have been at peace for half my life. What do you rely on? It’s these pairs of eyes!
Now that I am nearly fifty years old, I decisively join the Jingnan Army, command the army, and destroy Xu Huizu while talking and laughing. What is the point of view and strength?
Who dares to underestimate me in the world?
Mu Chun left, who else could command the people in Yunnan except Lao Feng? Feng Cheng couldn't help feeling as if he was floating and reached the peak at this time.
This time it's really worth it!
"Uncle, there is actually a saying, you are wrong. This is not a simple alternation between old and new, but a complete change. Our victory is not based on luck, but on the support of the people of the world!"
Liu Chun's face was serious and his eyes became fierce.
Feng Cheng was shocked and couldn't help but say, "I agree with this principle. Without the support of the people, I will be defeated by Xu Huizu in Rong County. If you guard Chengdu, you also need to rely on the help of the people - what are you going to do?"
Liu Chun smiled, "What else can I do? It is naturally to respond to the people's biggest request - land!"
"land?"
"That's right, it's the land!" Liu Chun said decisively.
Feng Cheng pondered for a moment, and seemed a little confused and struggling. Liu Chun looked at him, "Uncle, what do you have to hide it?"
Feng Cheng shook his head quickly, "That's true, don't misunderstand it." He coughed for a moment, and then said with a careful consideration: "Liu Chun, this book says that the people can be used to do it, but not to know it. Are the people? Don't be too serious about some things. Whether it's equal land or equal service... Let's get rid of some gentry and powerful people who are extremely guilty and distribute some land to the people. When the people see the benefits, they will be grateful. As for us, don't do anything. In this way, those gentry and powerful people will also support us."
The more Feng Cheng said, the less he spoke, the less he became, and in the end he muttered, "The world is concerned about keeping a line of things, so we can't kill everyone, you say... right?"
After hearing Feng Cheng's words, Liu Chun just smiled indifferently.
"Uncle, are there many people who say this to you?"
Feng Cheng had a miserable face and muttered, "I tell you, I'm just passing a message. I don't want their benefits at all. If you want to do it, I have no objection."
Liu Chun waved his hand, "Uncle is too worried. I won't take anyone's anger just because of a few words. What's more, your thoughts also represent many people."
Liu Chun pondered for a moment and asked someone to invite several key figures.
Including King Zhu Chun of Shu, King Min Zhu Wei, Lan Yong, Ping'an, Wang Cai, Du Sixian, and Tang Zhao and Zhao Mian who rushed over from Yunnan overnight!
"We have won this battle, and the final work after the war is still going on. How should we govern Bashu and turn Bashu into our base camp for the Jingnan army... Now we must come up with a strategy, and it is especially important. We must be open and honest and truly united."
"I think you all know why Xu Huizu failed is that people's hearts are confused and each has their own plans. Civil officials have their own ideas, and they have their own ideas below, which are constrained and undermined each other. As a result, there are only hundreds of thousands of troops, but we are beaten to pieces. In contrast, the situation of these people is more complicated, from all directions. If we cannot be united as soon as possible, we have a greater chance of failure!"
Liu Chun glanced at everyone, "The biggest reason for our Fengtian Jingzhan is that Zhu Yunwen did not follow the ancestral teachings of the late emperor and gave up reform... Then now I want to ask everyone, what is your attitude towards reform?"
As soon as Liu Chun finished speaking, Tang Zhao stood up. This guy had long been Liu Chun's hardcore. "What are you talking about? What do you think of, just do it! Whoever dares to object, I will twist his head off!"
Liu Chun waved his hand, "This is a discussion, not a rude behavior. We must convince people with reason."
After pressing Tang Zhao, the remaining people looked at each other. Feng Cheng looked ugly. He wanted to speak, but he was afraid of hitting a nail, so he could only look at Zhao Mian desperately. This guy was the Minister of Personnel before, but later, in order to follow Liu Chun, he ran to Yunnan. He had enough status and enough weight to speak.
You have to say a few words to ensure that they work.
But surprisingly, before Zhao Mian spoke, Shu King Zhu Chun suddenly said in a muffled voice: "A person has no faith, and the people of Bashu have given us support. Everyone works together to protect Chengdu. How much kindness is this? People should be grateful and know how to be a human being! I don’t care about others. My attitude is to give up all the land of the Shu Prince’s Mansion and distribute these land to the people. In addition, I will also dismiss the slaves of the Prince’s Mansion and provide them with land to make them ordinary people!"
The statement of the King of Shu surprised everyone. The biggest obstacle to the reform was the royal family. It was surprising that Zhu Chun was so generous.
"I am a vassal king, but I still said that I am the son of the late emperor and the royal family of the Ming Dynasty! I will not starve to death if the people have no land, so they will rebel! Just imagine, if all the people in Chengdu helped Xu Huizu, what would happen if we were torn apart by people, or to dismember the corpses? Even if I can hide, what will my descendants do? Can they still be majestic forever?"
"Ba!Ba!Ba!"
Liu Chun took the lead in applauding, and he looked at Zhu Chun with praise. At this time, King Min Zhu's cheeks were bulging, which was really annoying. What did you say in Zhu Chun? It seemed like I was not the son of my father?
"I am like the King of Shu, and I fully support the reform!"
With these two princes taking the lead, Wang Cai smiled and said, "I communicated with the merchants. They said that as long as they are fair and reasonable, they are willing to pay taxes, but officials must be prevented from levying violent taxes and exploiting them excessively!"
Liu Chun nodded, "The issue of commercial tax must be carefully studied before it can be gradually implemented, and it must be fair and reasonable."
"Then there's no problem."
At this time, Zhao Mian, who had been silent, also smiled, "I have been thinking about the reform over the years. After all, the purpose of the reform is to destroy the scholar group... I am also a scholar. I want me to say, should it be? From a selfish point of view, I should object, but from the overall perspective, from the perspective of thousands of years of history, why can scholars become officials, not pay taxes, not pay food, not serve, and raise so many slaves? They are popular and spicy. The so-called punishment is not enough.
Doctor, what kind of scholars and kings share the world with the king... To put it bluntly, it is all the bullying talks made by scholars to satisfy their own selfishness! I!" He pointed to his nose, "I was driven out of the capital by the scholar group. In the years in the southwest, I have traveled all over Yunnan and Sichuan, and truly saw the sufferings of the people... If I were asked to say that the reform must be implemented completely, and there should be no discount! I am a scholar, but I am also a scholar with a conscience!"
boom!
This passage received even more intense applause.
Even Ping'an and Du Sixian stared at Zhao Mian in a daze.
No wonder Lord Zhao gave up his position as Minister of Personnel, ran to Yunnan, and followed Liu Chun to develop Yunnan copper. His mind was indeed extraordinary!
We are convinced!
At this point, Feng Cheng was the only one left. He widened his eyes. What is this? Don’t look at me? I, I have put in a lot of effort to defeat Xu Huizu, how can I make me like a sinner?
Don't go too far!
Under the gaze of the eyes, Feng Cheng finally bowed his head.
"I didn't say objection, but everyone should be careful of the counterattack of the gentry and the powerful."
Liu Chun smiled indifferently, "Actually General Feng is right. Those gentry and landlords will not be willing to do so. They will use all kinds of means. They will not be hard and soft. They will not be hard and use silver. No matter what, we must bear it!"
"In order to implement the reform and make the reform truly deeply rooted in people's hearts, I propose to judge the captive leader of the village chariot, the Southern Army, and the horses... especially the key is to supervise the military, Jing Qing, and conduct a trial!"
"Judgement? Why are you doing this?" Tang Zhao said politely: "Just just peel Lingchi, won't it be enough!"
Liu Chun shook his head, "Cruel means can only make people afraid, but strict laws can make people awe! This is not an ordinary judgment, but a liquidation of all gentry and a comprehensive mobilization of the people of Bashu... As long as we do this, we will be much easier next!"
...
Liu Chun was talking to everyone and unify his views. In the prison, Jing Qing sat upright in silence against the prison door, without saying a word. Next to him, there were four steamed buns... This guy didn't eat any of them, and it had been three days. He just drank some clean water.
At this time, footsteps came, and Jing Qing just laughed.
"I wish to serve Boyi and Shuqi, not eat thief grain, have a pure life and a bloody hot qi, repay the kindness of heaven! I died for the Taoist rule! Don't try to persuade me to surrender!"
The jailer chuckled, "Mr. Jing, who wants to persuade you to surrender? Come to court for trial!"
Chapter completed!
