"Your Majesty, now it is not how Shi Kefa dealt with, but the unhealthy trend of such a scholar coming to demonstrate to His Majesty when he is unhappy.

Your Majesty is the Lord.

And they are just ministers.

Your Majesty asked the Ministry of Justice to hand over Shi Kefa to the Jinyiwei.

Then, no matter what the reason is, the Ministry of Justice must hand it over to the Jinyiwei.

Similarly, if Shi Kefa has committed a crime, it is not a decision for these scholars to forgive him. Even if he is to forgive him, it must be out of the will of the holy people. These people have no right to ask His Majesty to do so. If the punishment for Shi Kefa is not in accordance with the law, they can come to appeal to His Majesty. However, if Shi Kefa is dealt with based on the law or has not been dealt with, they have no right to force His Majesty to do as they ask."

On the Chengtian Gate Tower, Yang Xin continued to bewitch the Holy Listen.

Tianqi is not in the Ganqing Palace.

His Majesty the Emperor is now in the Academy of Sciences for 90% of the day.

The entire Tu'er Mountain and the rotary grinding platform area have been completely transformed into a special scientific research base. The Ministry of Works and the skilled craftsmen selected from all over the country are there to serve His Majesty the Emperor, and even have iron smelting furnaces. In fact, there is a gunpowder test area in the most remote corner. A small courtyard is surrounded by a cement wall of one and a half feet thick and two feet high. Inside, gunpowder craftsmen test various ratios and pelletizations. Different gunpowder is used in different situations, and the purification of nitride is all tested there.

An explosion has occurred.

But because the cement wall is too thick and there are actually steel bars inside, all the explosion power is equivalent to nearly 100 kilograms of gunpowder, it just destroys the inside. Mobile phone::

There is no impact outside.

Finally, at the suggestion of Nine Thousand Years, the amount of gunpowder stored in this test base shall not exceed fifty kilograms.

Wu Zhiwang even had a pharmaceutical workshop there, which specialized in purifying herbs. He specially found dozens of pharmaceutical craftsmen from Linjiang Prefecture, specially equipped with pills, ointments, and potions similar to Chinese patent medicines. As for what they could find, Yang was not very clear. Anyway, he just reminded Panax notoginseng and the like. This thing had been used a long time ago, and the Compendium of Materia Medica was recorded very clearly, and it was even used in the army, but the degree to which it could be studied depends on their ability.

Anyway, Governor Yang doesn't need it.

With such a good place, Tianqi did not have the leisure to live in the Qing Palace. He just went back tonight. Recently, he was coaxed by Zhang Yan very well. After all, rose essential oil is still a bit fresh.

This time, Yang Xin also invited him.

The outside of Chengtian Gate was still blue. The candidates who had just finished the Six Arts Assessment had at least 4,000 people gathered outside. A total of 5,000 people participated in the imperial examination, which means that 80% of them participated. These were different from the previous few times. This time they were all juren. They formed a huge cluster outside Chengtian Gate in a similar way to sit in a meditation, without shouting or making noise, just waiting for the emperor to answer them. However, they specially selected a good day. It was still very comfortable to bask in the rare warm sun above their heads in the twelfth lunar month. From time to time, people who brought water to walk by them with large teapots.

The civil servants did not show up.

The cabinet chief Ye Xianggao Shang didn't know anything.

He was actually from Zhao Nanxing and his gang, which was the old Donglin Party, and this was done by the old Donglin Party.

In fact, the emergence of the Old Donglin Party is also largely related to interests.

In the past, the core of industry and commerce in the Ming Dynasty was Nanzhili. Although Fujian and Guangdong had the same industry and commerce, they were always suppressed by Nanzhili, especially the canal was controlled by Nanzhili. Even if Fujian and Guangdong went north, they had to rely on Nanzhili. This is why there were many members of Fujian and Guangdong provinces in the Donglin Party.

They have the same interests.

But now, due to the emergence of the Red Turban Army, the number of cotton cloth sent to the north has plummeted this year. However, due to the legalization of Li Dan, Yang Xin's new schooner was put into the route, especially the two development zones established by Li Dan and Yang Xin in Taiwan, the cargo can be directly transported to the north through Taiwan by Taiwan.

Nanzhili's position in the economic territory of the Ming Dynasty was weakening.

The status of Fujian and Guangdong, especially Guangdong, is increasing. Although the number of cotton silk and other cotton exported to the north in southern Zhili plummeted this year, the number of Guangdong textile exported to the north has soared.

It's not just Li Dan's fleet that is transporting.

Even the Dutch and Portuguese loaded Guangdong goods and delivered them to the north during the trade season. There were a large number of such goods entering the port at both Tianjin and Dengzhou controlled by Yang Xin.

The prosperity of maritime transportation is causing Fujian and Guangdong provinces, including Guangxi, to get rid of their dependence on Nanzhili.

In this case, why do they continue to promote the people of Nanzhili?

In the past, they promoted the people of Nanzhili, but the latter controlled the canal. All southern goods had to go north. It was too troublesome for Fujian and Guangdong merchant ships to go north directly. They had to rely on the monsoon. Even if they were in good wind in summer, they had to face the coastal current. But now there are Taiwan and North Korea's transit stations without having to go to the coast.

Just go to Taiwan.

Starting from the bird dropping port in Yang's Taipei, even the old sailing boat will only arrive at Mopu Port for seven days, which will be enough to arrive at Gegu within half a month.

A new schooner can drive into Gegu in seven days.

In the past, it took several months to transfer to the canal in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

Since this is the case, why do the gentry of Fujian and Guangdong still serve the gentry of Nanzhili?

Similarly, the Northern Donglin Party also changed its financial supporter. Now their main supporters are the gentry of Fujian and Guangdong. After all, the gentry of Southern Zhili can no longer provide them with much benefit. The latter can now say that the landlords have no surplus food. Changzhou and Zhenjiang have suffered heavy losses, and now they have to maintain the group training. Their all their financial resources are now mainly used to deal with the Red Turban Army. How can there be any extra transmission to the outside?

This is the division between the old and new Donglin Party.

To put it bluntly, it is actually very simple. The financial backer has been changed.

And there is another side effect, that is, the cotton production area in Nanzhili has significantly shrunk.

The Red Turban Army controlled the area did not produce cotton, or the output dropped sharply. The surrounding gentry controlled the area was afraid that the poor would rebel, so they began to appropriately increase their treatment, resulting in the transfer of prices to cotton cloth. The large influx of cotton cloth in Guangdong through sea routes led to the impact of prices, so the production of cotton cloth in Nanzhili decreased. As for Guangdong's cotton, they were imported, and they were all purchased from India. In history, Guangdong's cotton spinning industry was supported by the import of Indian cotton in the Qing Dynasty, and imported millions of taels of silver every year.

They are still the same now.

It’s just that the original supplier, the British East India Company, was replaced by the Portuguese.

This year, Guangdong Customs imported more cotton than grain, and some Portuguese merchant ships would rather transport more profitable cotton than transport grain for the sake of tax cuts.

The division and union of political forces is actually the division and union of silver.

In the past, Nanzhili was a financial tyrant, and the Donglin Party in the north was willing to serve them, but now this financial tyrant is no longer rich. On the contrary, another group of people who were originally comrades suddenly paid the money, so the Donglin Party in the north naturally went over and hugged each other without hesitation. As for the eunuch party, it is actually changing to the local industrial and commercial groups in the north, that is, those who depend on the nine thousand years old, this power is also increasing. Of course, no matter which side, they do not like Governor Yang, and the gentry of Fujian and Guangdong also hate him to the core.

But it's not as good as life or death.

After all, Yang Xin did not create the Red Turban Army in their family, and he actually cooperated with each other.

To be precise, it is precisely because they don’t want to live to the death with Yang Xin that they draw a clear line with the New Donglin Party.

After all, the consequences are different.

Nanzhili and Zhejiang were irreconcilable with him. At this time, due to the influence of the Red Turban Army, Zhejiang had undergone many slave transformations. Fortunately, they also established a vibrant non-governmental organization like the Gangzheng in time to crack down on these unruly slaves. But the problem is that the Red Turban Army will not be eliminated for a day, so there will only be more and more such things. After all, such a big role model is there.

Those slaves did not shout rebellion.

People just shouted that they wanted to be the emperor's militia and the emperor's tenant. Some people even tried to go to Nanjing to find the eunuchs to offer letters from the people, asking the emperor to make decisions for them.

This is simply a traitor.

He actually dared to bypass the gentry and show his loyalty to the emperor.

And the general backstage of all this is Yang Xin. If he doesn't kill him, he will not be able to solve the Red Turban Army.

Speaking of which, as a minister of a feudal dynasty, Governor Yang has achieved such an unprecedented level of unanimous calls for killing officials and gentry across the country. After all, even Wang Mang still has some supporters.

"And this is not the first time they have. These scholars rely on their different identities and favored the gentry. They coerced His Majesty again and again. His Majesty gave them all kinds of preferential treatment, exempting farming from taxes, refusing to labor service, and not collecting silver. Even they did not collect taxes when they walked past the banknotes, and even merchants on the canal asked them to take a boat to exempt the taxes from cargo. They also collected other people's contributions. When a person passed the tax, the farmers who originally paid the taxes voluntarily took their land to be slaves to avoid taxes. In this way, there were a large number of hidden fields, and no one family could afford thousands of acres of land that did not pay taxes.

Your Majesty gave them the money.

They also gave them all kinds of privileges, and they would not eliminate their fame and fortune, and they would not even have to beat the board if they committed a crime.

But they repay His Majesty in this way and coerce His Majesty in this way. If this kind of unhealthy trends continue, they will become more severe."

Yang Xin continued to bewitch the holy listen.

Tianqi silently looked at the students who were sitting and demonstrating outside.

At this time, it was almost noon, and someone even started to carry big meat buns full of food boxes and distributed them among the students. One student obviously didn't like his appetite and took a bite and fell angrily on the face of the person who was distributing the buns.

The man bowed and quickly apologized.

This scene made Tianqi sneer appear on the corner of his mouth.

"Let the liexi supervisor draw an edict and tell them to disperse immediately. How to deal with Shi Kefa, I have my own opinion. They are here to participate in the imperial examination. Now they should study their homework honestly, instead of gathering people here to make trouble. Those who resist the edict can be beaten. As for the examination, they will draft a guarantee letter to voluntarily abandon the exam, and then let them sign it themselves. Those who take the exam will be imprisoned for life. Since they have stopped the exam, they will never take the exam.

This matter is left to my brother for full disposal.”

He said.

After saying that, His Majesty the Emperor turned his head and left.

"Just don't kill anyone!"
