Chapter 812 Clean Jiangnan

"Last year, the eight major banks donated hundreds of thousands of taels to your academy respectively. What do you want to say?"

In front of Liu Chun was an old Confucian scholar. His hair and beard were white, but his eyes were very bright. He looked at Liu Chun disdainfully and said indifferently: "Human heart!"

Although the court believed your nonsense, promoted science, and suppressed Confucianism, it didn't matter... For more than two thousand years, Confucianism has encountered more crises.

Once the Legalists were prevalent, and Huang-Lao's studies occupied the court. Later, Buddhism came to the west and disrupted the Taoist tradition... But what happened? These messy knowledge were suppressed, and the world was still the Confucian world, and the way of Confucius and Mencius was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people!

"They are willing to donate money and are willing to promote the right way... Liu Chun, do you really have to care about people's hearts? You are too domineering!"

Liu Chun laughed, "I don't care about people's hearts, but I want to care about the direction of this money! Aiguben, don't you know that the money shop donated money to you to avoid taxes?"

"What?" The old Aguben was startled. He never expected that there would be such a relationship.

"You're talking nonsense!"

The old man had a hair and a haircut and shouted angrily: "Liu Chun, you are woven in charge of framing innocent people, you are despicable!"

"Hahaha!" Liu Chun sneered disdainfully, "Eiguben, even if I frame you, you can tell clearly why a college, with only hundreds of students, has to receive donations of hundreds of thousands every year? Where does your money go?"

"I, I only have the use of it, I don't need you to care!"

Liu Chun sneered, "In the Ming Dynasty, there was no lawless place... especially the major issues related to tax payments, which were even bigger than heaven! You founded academies, colluded with some people to give lectures, explored knowledge openly, opposed reforms, and secretly did things like colluding with merchants and avoiding taxes for them. This is your right way? Are you the so-called human heart?"

"You, you're talking nonsense!" Abengu retorted wildly, shook his pale head and cursed.

But Liu Chun was too lazy to listen.

According to Liu Chun's idea, he never wanted to get to this point. But he couldn't think of a better way.

Many people would rather die than make changes.

Merchants colluded with officials, wooed Confucians, and controlled public opinion... In this way, they could easily seize wealth and do whatever they wanted.

With this method, although we quickly accumulate wealth, it not only does not benefit the world, but it also corrodes the bureaucratic system, reverses the black and white, and makes Jiangnan a mess.

Therefore, ambitious businessmen like the Sanyihui, officials and powerful men who colluded with them, and Confucian scholars who were willing to waving flags and shouting for them, all became the targets of cleaning up.

Perhaps some of them were wronged, but Liu Chun was no longer planning to give them a chance.

Dust returns to dust, soil returns to soil, these old era dregs should be swept into the garbage dump!

...

The people of Yingtian have an extra chance to watch the fun.

People are executed every day, and these people are famous figures. Perhaps for Liu Chun, they can't be even younger, but in the eyes of ordinary people, these people are God!

Among the royal family, Princess Qingcheng and her two sons were sentenced to beheading for collusion with merchants and greedy for many evil things.

Zhu Di was kind and sentenced to Princess Qingcheng to death, but her two sons could not escape the knife.

On the day they were killed, dozens of ragged people came, all staring at the court and the two killed people.

The moment their heads landed, these people cheered like thunder!

They were allocated to the land in the equal fields, and then the people who were then taken away by Princess Qingcheng's family, trying their best to take away the land... blackmailed, blackmailed, framed, and even spread the river embankment, flooded a village, causing more than 200 people to die!

A princess's mansion has many sins!

"The court is wise, long live my emperor!"

The cheers of the people came one after another.

At the same time, newspapers from all over the country also started to move. They followed the imperial court's instructions and spread all this to Yingtian.

This time the content of the newspaper is no longer chaotic, nor is it confusing black and white, and it is terrifying to hear... basically the reason for the execution of these people is reported objectively and fairly.

Some people are greedy for ink and harming the people, some are hoarding and bribing officials... Shanxi merchants, salt merchants, and many maritime merchants with the Sanyi Society as the core cannot escape the disaster.

Among all the characters, the most worth mentioning is a guy named Fang Sheng.

Who is this person?

Is it worth everyone's care so much?

His status is not high and he is not an official. He studied in his early years and even entered the Imperial College. Unfortunately, he did not wait for the quota and could not become an official. He was trapped in the capital, spent all his savings, was poor and almost reached a desperate situation.

But Fang Sheng’s experience next seemed like he was cheating.

He suddenly got the money, suddenly opened a brothel, and suddenly had a large group of people under his command... In twenty years, he became the largest boss of the Qinhuai River.

No one knows how much money he has, no one knows how many brothel women he controls, and no one knows how many powerful people he has made... From the Hongwu Dynasty, to the Jianwen Dynasty, and then to the Yongle Dynasty.

He stood firm. Although he encountered a crisis in the middle, he survived and his business became bigger and bigger. Such a person is a god in the hearts of the people.

When he was executed, the brothels in the Qinhuai River were alarmed.

Countless women with clear faces and spotlessly came to watch the death of this great hero.

They didn't even blink their eyes and just watched it.

Fang Sheng, who was usually slender and full of books, was now sloppy and dirty, and his hair and beard were even white. He knelt on the ground timidly, his whole body was limp, worse than a pile of mud.

He looked around blankly, hoping that someone would save him.

However, the common scenes of the swords that are left under the sword in the play did not happen to him.

Accompanied by the ghost-headed sword, his head flew out and blood splattered three feet!

This pool of blood completely shocked everyone.

For a long time, there have been temples and rivers in the Central Plains.

Some people say that the imperial power does not go to the countryside, but this statement is actually inaccurate.

There are many places where imperial power cannot be visited.

For example, some guilds have their own set of rules that the court cannot control... For example, many shops in the store recruiting apprentices have clear regulations: Master beats you and scolds you, can't stand it, if you die, or encounter an accident, your master will not be responsible.

This set of rules also applies to some artists in the world.

In addition, there is brothel, which is not something that the court can do.

The court cannot get involved, which does not mean that there is no exploitation or darkness... On the contrary, there is dirt and dirt hidden in it, which is extremely terrifying, and cannibalism!

A big boss of a brothel Qinhuai River was executed, and Yingtian's biggest gangster leader was awarded the title.

It turns out that there is really a kind of power that can clean up these miscellaneous things... Although I dare not say that the world is bright and there is no injustice anymore... but at least someone cares about these things.

For thousands of years, no one dared to touch something, someone has dealt with.

The court began to uphold justice. When things happened, the court had to become everyone's hope... This alone was already amazing.

When Zhu Di ascended the throne, he made drastic moves and dealt with messy forces.

When Liu Chun was in charge of the Jinyiwei, he also rectified it... but compared to this time, the scale and strength were much smaller.

And this time it really touched the core and touched the field that no one had touched in the past... Merchants, Confucians, celebrities from all walks of life, and even temples were cleaned up.

Liu Chun put a list of 1,000 people on Zhu Di, but in fact, the number of people executed by Liu Chun exceeded 5,000!

Not only Yingtian, but also Suzhou, Songjiang, Zhenjiang, Hangzhou, Yangzhou, Taizhou, Huai'an, and Fengyang, the cleaning was like a huge typhoon sweeping and whistling by.

After the strong wind swept through, a vast white earth was left behind, clean!

"Master, you have finally used the thundering method, and the disciple is so arrogant!"

Zhu Gaosui was full of enthusiasm and waved his arms excitedly... Over the past few days, he has also put in a lot of effort. Almost every day, Zhu Gaosui was in excitement.

During this process, some people pleaded with him, and some people tried to assassinate Zhu Gaosui, but all of them were nothing.

"The forces of Shanxi merchants in Jiangnan, including Hui merchants, maritime merchants, Suzhou merchants, and salt merchants, have all been severely damaged... The traditional merchant gangs should end."

Zhu Gaosui gritted his teeth, and he finally figured out what he wanted, or what he always had in the past was.

"Master, I have thought it through this period of time... In the past, my elder brother, second brother, and even my father, looked down on what I did, and thought I was just greedy for money and profit... In fact, I was harmed by these people. I am different from them. I am a serious industrialist! I made money by creating wealth, and I am promoting the progress of the Ming Dynasty!"

Liu Chun chuckled, Zhu Gaosui is really good at gigging on his face!
