If it were someone else, he would definitely be lacking in confidence in the face of someone like Wang Jie.

People with confidence are originally in the same group as Wang Jie.

But Duan Yan doesn't like him. In terms of connections and opinions, even if I, Duan Yan, is a scholar, may not be worse than you. How dare you humiliate me?

Wang Wei didn't expect that this time he kicked the iron plate.

His old face turned red in front of everyone.

But Emperor Tianqi looked like he was watching the excitement.

All officials followed the principle of shooting out the first bird with guns and kept saying a word. Of course, they hoped that Wang Jie could teach this Duan Yan a good lesson immediately, and that they planned to use Wang Jie as a gun.

Wang Jie had no choice but to say, "In this way, are you supporting them and attacking the gentry? You still indulge the mud legs and divide the ground?"

This is called heart-killing.

If you nod, you will be labeled as a fellow bandit.

Duan Yan himself is Wang Yi's fellow man, and of course he is very good at this. To be honest, when Wang Yi sticks out his butt, Duan Yan knows what he wants to pull.

So Duan Yan sneered, "It is clearly a land transaction. Why does it become a robbery when you come to your mouth? One wants to buy land and the other wants to sell land, what's wrong? As for the strategy of storing people to earn acres, students think it's very good. Whoever has more land will work, and whoever has more land will share the worries of Your Majesty and the court. What's wrong? The king, the king, the minister, the father, the son, the son, and now the country is in internal and external troubles. The court needs money and food to improve people's livelihood. We are all scholars. When we read the books of sages, we should know the principle of serving the king and father. Why do we feel that the government collects more grain taxes and become robbery?"

"I, Duan Yan, are just a scholar, and you understand this truth. You are a decent official in the court, and you should have received such national favors. Even if you are crushed to pieces, it is natural. This is the way for the king and the ministers, but because you charge a few more taxes, you jumped here. Do you dare to ask your brother, the Four Books and Five Classics, have you read the dog's belly? No wonder no one in Fengqiu County now reads the Four Books and Five Classics. Is this because the Four Books and Five Classics are not good? Is it a saint not good?"

Duan Yan pointed at Wang Jie like a cannon and scolded: "Isn't it because he is like you, who speaks benevolence, righteousness and morality, but in fact he only thinks about the private family. He makes people in the world laugh when they mention the word benevolence and righteousness. He can't help but want to laugh. Hypocrites like you have humiliated the saints! The faces of scholars are thrown away by people like you! Do you still dare to bark here, for fear that others don't know that you are a clown who is profitable from the country but does not know how to repay you?"

Wang Jie: "..."

Wang Jie's chest was undulating. To be honest, he hadn't had such a fierce argument with others for a long time. In the past, he relied on his identity to unilaterally output.

Unexpectedly, I met a ruthless person today.

He didn't know that in Fengqiu County, the debate about the new policy had long been quarreling within the literati class. A group of gentry living in Fengqiu cursed the New Policy and people like Duan Yan every day. Duan Yan's group of literati, who had already enlightened and had begun to have new profit points, retorted.

To be honest, Fengqiu County is like hell mode, and everyone is racking their brains to fight.

Wang Jie is like a baby in a greenhouse in a capital city, and he is only responsible for exporting it on weekdays. In Fengqiu County, which is in this hell-raising Gu mode, he is simply a primary school student.

So Wang Jie sneered: "The king, the king, the minister, the minister, the minister, is not to be flattered in everything, so what is the difference between it and the treacherous? Those who are ministers should..."

Before Wang Jie could continue, Duan Yan interrupted him and said, "What should be a minister? You should abide by the law, right? But as I heard, you officials of the court ordered to send various gifts during the holidays. In summer and winter, there are still a constant stream of people who will give you ice and charcoal."

"I wonder if you are giving these things to whom? Are these things profitable? Is these things profitable? I am sitting in the capital and enjoying the sacrifices of people. What about these sacrifices? But what about you, but you are willing to accept this. Now you say that you do not talk about profit and say, what should you do if you are a minister? Now I ask your brother, have you received these gifts and filial piety?"

"I...I..." Wang Jie wanted to deny it completely, but for a moment, he suddenly became unconfident.

Looking at Wang Jie's stuttering look, Duan Yan had already expected it.

You know, Duan Yan is the most clear about the tricks here. After all,... his ancestors did this, why don’t they know the names of the princes in this court?

"Okay, I just don't ask you to be honest. After all, you also need food and clothing, otherwise how can you be rich and well-behaved? But since you have gained such huge profits, then again, you said that ministers cannot be flattered in everything, so what have you done? Jiannu in Liaodong is so powerful that you have a plan to pacify Liao? What is the reason for bandits? Have you ever written a memorial to deal with it? When natural disasters and man-made disasters, the people are not covered in clothes and corpses are everywhere, what are you doing? You did nothing, but just a corpse-position! If it weren't for the great princes in the court, who were like you, who had a fat head but didn't do human affairs, how could the world be so far?"

Speaking of this, he looked at Wang Jie's increasingly ugly face, but without stopping, and continued, "You don't say anything about profit. Do you think I don't know how much land the lords in this court have hoarded in their hometown? Is the profit of industry and commerce a profit, but the profit of this land a profit is not a profit? How much tax did you pay for these land a profit? How many ministers and family members are secretly doing business? How many taxes did these pay?"

"I am so hypocritical, but I still dare to insult my innocence! I, Duan Yanqing, paid taxes and recruited so many craftsmen, dare not say that it would be of any benefit to the world, but at least I did not greedy for the people's wealth and omen, and I ramble here. But my brother Tai... enjoys the benefits of the world, but he must be indifferent to fame and fortune. He speaks of loving the people, but he is greedy for the people's interests. He speaks benevolence and righteousness, but has no strategy to govern the country. He only takes the Four Books and Five Classics to cover his shame. If a saint knows that he has a person like Brother Tai, he will be ashamed."

Wang Jie's face turned red with anger.

In fact, he felt that it was possible to refute if he grabbed the pain in his feet.

But Duan Yan, on the one hand, knew too much details and exposed them directly, making it difficult for him to continue to defend himself. On the other hand, some old secrets also made him feel guilty.

He had no choice but to say, "You...you...you are a scholar, dare to speak like this!"

Duan Yan smiled and said without fear: "Aren't you also a scholar at the beginning? Besides, you keep saying that Fengqiu's new policy is worthless, and you regret it. Oh, it turns out that in the eyes of Brother Tai, only Jinshi is fame. Of course, I don't even have the qualifications to speak? Since that's the case, I think this Fengqiu's new policy is good for those who abolish fame and fortune. Scholars are nothing. What's the use of fame and fortune? Only those who are born as Jinshi are qualified to talk big and gain all the benefits of the world."

Wang Jie almost passed away and racked his brains to spit out a sentence: "Duan Shaobao is like knowing under the spring..."

Duan Yan immediately said, "If the ancestors knew that the people in the later generations of the court would only know how to talk, not do anything for childbirth, and insult them when they see others, and I am afraid they would not want to join you."

Duan Yan said bluntly: "So, my brother-in-law is an official in the court, so I only have a quarrel with you. But if my brother-in-law still wants to ramble here, haha... do you really think that my Nanyang Duan family is weak and can be bullied?"

I'm very bored.

You are a great official?

My ancestors also served as officials.

When Duan was an official, he was not as good as you!

Criticizing the new policy, cutting off my Duan family's financial path, and wanting to insult me, Duan family, what are you?

This suddenly...

It's quiet.

Emperor Tianqi was very excited to hear it and wanted to add a fire.

However, Huang Liji felt it was too inappropriate and immediately stood up to smooth things over: "Okay, okay, don't act irritably, this... looks like this, they are all scholars, they are all scholars..."

Wang Jie had a step forward. Although he was so gentle, he knew that he could no longer scold Duan. It was obvious that he knew that he could not win the scolding.

Duan Yan snorted coldly, and replied to the arrogance that a gentry should have.

Humph, I don’t know the tricks of you guys?

Emperor Tianqi smiled and said, "Huang Qing is right, what's the point of fighting for? Isn't it all a family, and I have to make arguing like this. But what Duan Qing's family said just now is also reasonable. Just now Duan Qing said what gifts, business, and invaded people's fields? I'm quite curious..."

After saying that, Emperor Tianqi looked at Wang Jie and said, "Wang Qing, you must not have these things."

Wang Jie suddenly panicked and said hurriedly: "No...no, I am a saint... I will never do this..."

"It's good if not." Emperor Tianqi sighed and said, "I'm afraid that all the officials in the court will learn bad things from Zhang Jingyi and are secretly thinking about making money. Zhang Jingyi is a hero, and has never read the Four Books and Five Classics, and his mind is full of money. I can't do anything to him, but you are different. You are pillars of the country and role models of the world. You must not do anything that is very meticulous."

"How about this. After I go back, I will ask my partner Wei to check it out to see if your Wang family has such a thing. If not, it will be better to give you a clean heart. At that time, I will have to deal with those who slander you so that everyone in the world will know that my Ming Dynasty court is not all corrupt officials, but also innocent people."
