Chapter 769 Reversal (Part 2)

"Every man is responsible for the rise and fall of the world. Patriotism does not necessarily require literati and officials, soldiers of the three armies, peddlers, peasants, merchants, or merchants. Let me ask, how can a merchant not protect him when he reaches this point, and how can his Majesty not protect him!"

"What is the court commended? Who is maintaining the country, not qualifications. If it only refers to qualifications, we will just not do things together and have a qualification."

OK, Wen Yanbo is qualified, but far less patriotic than these maritime merchants, so the country's judgment was to further demote Wen Yanbo.

Not to mention the banking department, from this perspective, it is worthy of Wang Jumizhou and his delegation.

Because I am still very aggrieved and unfair to the maritime merchants.

This is also equivalent to answering what Sima Guang said that the court overly covers seamen.

"There are also Bank Department, Sima Guang, you have seven points that directly or indirectly point to the Bank Department, saying that it is to lure the world and compete for profit with the people. Of course, if the court does not impose any taxes, the people will naturally be happy, but then, what should we do if so many officials pay? What do the soldiers of the three armies rely on to support them?"

"It would be fine if it was the Qingmiao Law, but the banking department did not force the levy, and the interest rate was not very heavy. If you are willing to lend, you will lend. If you are unwilling to lend, no one will force you. I don't know if you are competing for profit with that people. On the contrary, because the banking department is about to be implemented, the court immediately abolished the banking department, and non-commercial houses and large livestock will not count households, etc., and further lenient lent to the people. This is the beginning. In the future, the lenient lent is gradually abolished, and some profit subsidies will even be used to exempt the slack of service. The court took the initiative to buy horses for the people to raise horses, rather than giving a little money to let the people force their horses to buy horses. The protection of the government will half exempt his family from taxes, and other profit-making and favorable policies, which will be about to kick off. Is this also called seducing the world with profit?"

"Sima Gong, why do you say the opposite?"

Zhao Xu was amused by this cold joke.

In fact, Wang Ju can't explain it, but Sima Guang's seemingly wrong words are quite confusing. He must explain it and then throw out his killer move!

"By the way. I am indeed competing for profit with the people, at least competing for profit with you gentry, but let me see what kind of people you are. Your name is Fengji." Wang Ju looked at a group of gentry in Shanzhou, then looked at the man with a numb face. He came to Zhao Xu, moved the croaker down, picked up the top letter, and said to the guards: "Go to Duo Palace to bring Wang Niu Er, Shen Zhang, Cao Xiaoli, and Xu Youfu, a native of Shanzhou."

This Duo Hall refers to the Duo Hall next to Daqing Hall. It turned out that two Duo Halls were changed to Yanhe Hall, and the other was preserved as a place for Zhao Xu to rest in front of the dynasty.

However, since last night, Li Ding secretly used many carriages to load more than 300 people, loaded them into the palace, and was placed in this hall.

This matter was done in a very secretive way, and no one, including Lao Wang, noticed it.

Some people know that Li Ding went on business, but they don’t know what Li Ding went on business.

Moreover, Beijing officials often go on duty as temporary positions, such as disaster relief, inspection of people's conditions, official duties in various places, tax cases, military affairs or disputes, etc. Therefore, no one paid attention to Li Ding when he left the capital.

Therefore, everyone continues to be confused and confused.

But this squire named Feng Ji was so scared that he shivered when he heard these four names. He kept touching his head: "Your Majesty, the grass people deserve to die, the grass people deserve to die."

"There is a problem." Many people thought to themselves.

"Shut up!" Wang Ju shouted.

Not far away, the guard brought in three men and one woman. She was ragged and had yellow faces and thin faces. However, it was normal. They all belonged to the poor people and were malnourished.

Fortunately, Zhao Xu had already comforted himself last night, and of course, he was a little nervous.

The four people came in and knelt on the ground immediately and said, "Caomen, please see your ministers."

It should be to meet Your Majesty and the Dukes, but no one will care about anything these four people know.

Wang Ju pointed at Feng Ji and asked, "Can you know him."

"I know, he is Feng Yuanwai."

"It turns into ashes, and the people's women know it," said the woman named Shin Zhang, gritting her teeth.

"Okay, tell me how you know him. Come one by one, first you, Wang Niu Er."

One of four people told the whole story.

First, Wang Niu Er, he borrowed Feng Ji's usury loan and then urged him to pay it back. He couldn't afford it, so he had to use his beautiful daughter to pay off the debt. Wang Xiaozi became a slave of the Feng family. It would be fine if he was just a slave. Feng Ji took a fancy to Wang Xiaozi's appearance and insulted Wang Xiaozi. It's normal to insult him, but the problem is that Feng Ji's wife bumped into this scene, so she was unhappy and stripped off Wang Xiaozi's clothes and marched in the village.

The Song Dynasty did not treat chastity so well, but it was not so casual. Wang Xiaoma was so ashamed and angry that she hanged herself.

Then when he arrived at the Shen Zhang family, it was even more unfair. That year, her husband saw that his family was so hungry that she went to the village to pick elm leaves to satisfy her hunger, but was knocked down by Feng Ji's slaves, saying that this elm tree was the elm tree of the Feng family.

Is it good to be a wild tree without a master? Shen Zhang's husband contradicted a few words and was rushed up by the Feng family's slaves, breaking his legs. The husband became a disabled person, and the family broke up. Soon, Shen Zhang's youngest daughter starved to death due to lack of nutrition. There was only one nine-year-old eldest son in the family, and his disabled husband, who was taken to the capital by Li Ding this time, and the son stayed to serve her husband.

"A few elm leaves will break their legs. Fu Gong, can Your Majesty not get angry when you say such a troublemaker?" Wang Ju asked Fu Bi sarcastically.

But this is just the beginning.

Wang Ju asked Cao Xiaoli to speak again, and she was named Xiao Cao Xiaoli, but she was actually in her fifties.

He was also wronged because he borrowed 65 stakes of usury from Feng Ji, and collected it in the summer and sold the wheat to repay the usury. However, it took only two more months, and I don’t know how Feng Ji calculated it, but it turned into more than 860 stakes.

Many ministers almost shouted, "I'm going to lose!" What kind of interest is this?"

In fact, the Cao family was still good at the beginning, but now it is so miserable that in order to repay the usury, he gave the family's house and fifty acres of arable land to the Feng family. But it's not over. Now Cao Xiaoli still owes the Feng family more than 4,600 chunks of usury.

After Cao Xiaoli finished speaking, he was quite puzzled: "Your Majesty, all the ministers, Caomin doesn't understand why the 65 stakes of money have become more than 860 stakes in just over two months. But after mortgaged the house and the Feng family, there were still more than 400 stakes left. It's been more than three years, so why did it only increase to more than 4600 stakes? Caomin can't figure this account out."

Who can figure it out? It's weird!

But fortunately, no one has died yet.

Then when he arrived at Xu Youfu, he also borrowed usury loans. Soon after, his house and land were mortgaged together. However, Xu Youfu had a pair of children and could not afford the usury loans, so he asked the Feng family to sell his son and daughter to where they were.

After the four of them finished speaking, the lord cried.

Wang Ju comforted, "Everyone, since the imperial court sent envoys to investigate and bring you to the capital, Your Majesty will seek justice for you."

After saying that, he asked the guards to take the four of them and said, "Take the remaining people up in batches."

Fan Chunren asked: "Taibao. What's going on?"

"Fan Youcheng, everyone, when I returned from Mizhou, I heard Fu Gongsan bring more than 200 gentry from Henan Prefecture and Shanzhou to ask for the people. Although I was almost saying it out loud, the banking department only cracked down on usury. Even if the tax was in full, some of the businessmen began to pay commercial taxes, but in the end they benefited far more than these taxes. But there were still people who opposed it. But this was the capital. Moreover, the court was very cautious about the banking department. How dare ordinary merchants come to the capital to protest?"

"So I quickly came to a conclusion that these gentry were not ordinary gentry, most of them were loan sharks. The bank department cracked down on usury. Therefore, I met Your Majesty and asked Your Majesty to support him. Then I asked Mr. Li to take some people from the Imperial City Department to secretly go to Shaanxi, and at the same time let Cai Jing be the governor of Shaanxi and cooperate with Mr. Li, and at the same time, the news must be blocked."

"Mr. Li's vocation is only ten days, and half of it is on the road. However, in a short time, the situation found is simply unimaginable." Wang Ju said, pointing outside with his finger.

The guards outside brought in more than a dozen people.

There are more in the Duo Temple, but they have to be divided into batches, otherwise they will come in a hurry and will be unable to explain clearly.

Wang Juyi asked.

In fact, some of the nearly 100 gentry gentry from Shanzhou are still good.

However, this time Wang Ju was determined to kill the chicken and monkey, let alone Li Ding. If he was nitpicking, even Fan Chunren could find a handful of lice on him!

So under the accusation of these people, these nearly a hundred gentry immediately turned into evil demons.

It was time to prove until the third update.

But listening to these sad accusations from the people, no minister dared to feel sleepy.

Finally, the evidence was completed, Wang Ju said: "Yes, the banking company is competing for profit with the people. If these evil gentry are considered to be the people, but they are the people, rich Gong, Sima Gong, Liu Gong, Cheng Gong, Zhang Gong (Zhang Wen), Feng Gong (Feng Shenji, son of former prime minister Feng Zheng), An Gong, are you going to plead for such people as you?"

"Fugong, I was at my teacher's side in the past. When my teacher saw that I had a bad temper, I didn't want to accept it. Fortunately, I was prepared and deliberately used six questions to tempt my teacher. My teacher had a headache, please stop it. My temper really couldn't satisfy him. If I don't accept it, I thought I was talented, and it would be a pity for a talented person without anyone to teach me."

When many ministers heard this, they smiled.

This was also an elegant event back then, but as the court became more and more mysterious, many people forgot about this elegant event.

Even when Zhao Xu heard this, his face relaxed and showed a strange smile.

Wang Ju said again: "My teacher had a headache that day, and then he sat there and thought about it. Actually, looking at his expression, I really wanted to laugh in my heart."

"Hahaha," Zhao Xu heard this, thinking about Zhang Zai's appearance back then, and he was completely tired and finally got happy.

Wang Ju waited for him to finish laughing and continued, "In the end, my teacher took out a ruler and hit my palm. Every time I hit it, I said a word, benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom, trustworthiness, gentleness, kindness, respect, frugality, loyalty, filial piety, courage, humility, integrity. The second sister said, this person was really bad, my teacher glanced at the second sister without saying a word, but I was very happy at that time. When there was a family, my teacher finally accepted me. But Your Majesty, my hand really hurt at that time."

Zhao Xu couldn't help but feel happy again.

"In the end, my teacher said another sentence, "A gentleman is gentle, gentle as jade. Your Majesty, but my aunt was born in a deserted place. I have been covered in a bloody life since I was a young man. I really can't get warm. My teacher finally sighed and said, "It seems difficult to think of you as a gentleman. So, in the future, I will be a good minister of the Song Dynasty, or like Zhang Kanggong, using your military talent to guard the safety of the people in Shaanxi, I will be satisfied. However, over the years, my ministers have become bigger and bigger, and have also fulfilled the sustenance of my mentor from afar, but

Being gentle and gentle as jade, I am getting farther and farther away from this gentleman. Therefore, I especially admire people with gentle tempers, including Fan Youcheng and Fu Gong. To be honest, among the five great gentlemen of Qingli, Fu Gong, you are not as noble as Fan Gong, nor as Pang Gong's good at government affairs, nor as domineering as Han Gong, nor as sinister as Wen Gong. But because you are gentle and upright, I always admire you very much in my heart, thinking that Renzong's last two and a half gentlemen occupied one, and you, Fan Gong and your mentor each occupied half."

Speaking of this, Wang Ju began to shake his head: "But today, you not only disappoint Your Majesty, but also break my admiration for you. Can it be considered a gentleman's act to bring such people to protest and to disgust Your Majesty?"

Fan Chunren sighed.

It's over, Fu Bi, Sima Guang, Liu Ji, Cheng Hao, Zhang Wen, Feng Shanji, An Tao, were stepped into the pit together, and he would never get up in his life. (To be continued.)
