Chapter 302: A century-old world

"Horse of Liaodong, how about having fun in Jiangnan?"

Chen Yiguan said with a smile.

"It's okay, but it's still a little worse than the two of the villagers. The last time I went to Ningbo, the gentry was so happy that they stuffed eight-year-old children into factories. You haven't seen the grand occasion of eight-year-old children working as coolies in the silk reeling factory. This year, the money you earned was piled up in mountains. It is said that the overseas silver that entered Hong Kong from Ningbo alone exceeded eight million taels.

Your family earns at least 300,000 taels this year, and each one is really rich enough to rival a country.”

Yang Feng said.

Chen Yiguan smiled slightly.

"The poor children have become home early, and they have also gone to the fields when they were eight years old."

He said.

"Then one day they will hang the gentry's branches, which is natural. After all, this cannot always make the gentry happy, and it will be the poor's turn to be happy."

Yang Feng said.

"Without those gentry opening factories, the poor lose their livelihoods. Even if they hang gentry into branches, they are just happy after all. However, the workmanship at the age of eight is indeed a little smaller, and after the Marquis of Liaodong, they are all changing. Now no one dares to collect eight-year-old children as workers in those factories, and even their wages have increased a lot. Elders and fellow villagers from all over the world have also taken the lead in opening porridge factories. The elderly who beg with their children also have a place to eat. After all, they are all fellow villagers in the country, and their hearts are full of flesh. Can they really watch the fellow villagers starve?

The situation is difficult.

The villagers in the village came over when they took care of each other.

Besides, they have to pay annual monies to the Liaodong Marquis every year, and the gentry made up the silver.

You cannot ask them to raise money to pay the annual monies while forcing them to raise wages for workers. Now the Zhejiang Navy is still fighting in North Korea, which also costs money.

They paid the money.

After all, we have to make a compromise. Gentlemen must make money. If they don’t make money, they won’t open factories. At that time, workers would not have wages and would not have enough food. Workers could not endure hunger. It was indeed a gentry wrong. Zhejiang does not respect heaven now, but they are still honestly paying you annual monies. You ask them to send troops to Korea, and they also send troops to Korea honestly. The Marquis of Liaodong don’t have to care too much about them.

As long as the Marquis of Liaodong resolves the rebellion between Chengtian and the north, will Zhejiang still dare to resist in a corner?"

Chen Yiguan said with a smile.

"What's the situation in the Korean War now? Yang almost forgot."

Yang Feng said.

"The battle situation went smoothly. The Japanese navy intends to break through. He was intercepted by the navy aided Korea in Luliang. More than 200 warships were sunk and tens of thousands of enemies were annihilated. The Japanese general, Soyochi, was killed and Shi Manzi was seriously injured. The remaining Japanese army has not yet been able to retreat, which is a great victory."

Chen Yiguan said proudly.

Shimanzi is Shimazu Yoshihiro. The Shimazu family is mainly fighting abroad. His brother Shimazu Yoshihiro is the daimyo of the Satsuma clan, and Soyotomo is the governor of the Ma clan. These two are the main generals of the Japanese naval army. Now they are killed and seriously injured. It can be said that the Japanese naval army has basically been defeated in the Korean naval army, and they may not have the courage to fight again in the future. In this way, the Jiangsu and Zhejiang naval army has sealed North Korea, but this result is inevitable. A fleet that can barely fight even when it is a raven. It would be a ghost to deal with the half-medium-year naval army in Japan that can lose.

The latter has few real cannons, and the main mode of fighting is to get close to the fire of bows, arrows, iron cannons and other random shots.

With the firepower of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Navy, they would have to be sunk without getting close to a hundred meters. Those broken ships could probably be penetrated by a twenty-four-pound shell.

"Not bad, worth celebrating."

Yang Feng said with satisfaction.

That's all, it's really a fool if the old turtle doesn't take action after this naval battle.

The Jiangsu and Zhejiang Navy is still very hardworking.

Of course, it is mainly because they can use this naval battle to deter Japan and then do business with Japan.

"You can tell your fellow villagers that as long as they are honest in the future, I will not deal with them for the time being."

He said.

"Marquis of Liaodong, I have never understood what you want?"

Ye Mengxiong said slowly from the side.

Originally, in history, he had already returned to his hometown and died of illness, but this time, as the most trusted old minister in Wanli, he could only stay in the north to support the crisis for His Majesty the Emperor.

Of course, the main reason is that the alliance between Guangdong and Fujian does need one in the capital.

As a result, he never went back.

As for why I've been alive and look pretty good...

Yang Feng didn't know this. He probably was tired on his way back to his hometown in history. After all, an old man in his sixties returned to Huizhou, Guangdong from the northwest. After walking for five or six thousand miles, it was very likely that a young man would die halfway through the journey. Not to mention an old man who was in the evening, he died of illness the second year after returning to his hometown. This time he was in the capital, and there was nothing wrong. Instead, he cultivated himself and lived a healthy life.

"Mr. Yang has said what he wants long ago. I want one fair and one bright world."

Yang Feng said.

"But did you get it?"

Ye Mengxiong said.

"What's the meaning?"

Yang Feng asked.

"You ruined the old system and established a new system that you think is fair, but in fact it is just what you think is fair, but in fact it is not much better than in the past. You did kill corrupt officials and even destroyed the court that was originally corrupt officials. But the set you established will also become corrupt officials. Do you think the officials you appointed are not greedy for money? The officials you appointed do not oppress the people?

They are the same.

Here are a bunch of your officials who are corrupt and abused the people."

Ye Mengxiong pushed him a stack of materials that had been prepared long ago.

"At least it's much better than in the past."

Yang Feng said looking at the materials.

"Indeed, the amount of money greedy is much smaller than that in the past. Those who used to be greedy for 10,000 taels are now greedy for 1,000 taels, but this is not because your officials don't want it, but their appetite is still small. They are all poor people from the past. If there are 1,000 taels, they will be satisfied. In fact, 100 taels last year is OK. But their appetite will continue to expand, and soon they will be no longer satisfied with 1,000 taels, and they will also collect 10,000 taels. You kill a group of corrupt officials, and finally get a group of new corrupt officials.

This is human nature.

Everything about you is in vain.”

Ye Mengxiong said.

"Then what?"

Yang Feng said with a smile.

"Since it is futile, why should you be enemies with the world for this? Wouldn't you let each other go? Don't you want your descendants to be prosperous and prosperous? You are indeed invincible on the battlefield, and it seems that it is not a problem to wipe out the world. If I am not wrong, Yang Xin is Yang Feng, right? You are playing with the gentry, and pity those scholars who shout your slogans and think they are righteous, but don't know that everything is just your conspiracy, but what if you win in the end?

Your fairness and your bright world are all just a bubble after all.

Emperor Taizu Gao is more cruel to dealing with corrupt officials than you, and killing more people than you, but what is the final result?"

Chen Yiguan said.

"You don't like Confucianism and think that benevolence, righteousness and morality are lies, but Confucianism finally gave a rule. Not many people obey benevolence, righteousness and morality, but after all, there is still Hai Gangfeng. Benevolence, righteousness and morality are indeed difficult to achieve. But Confucian scholars finally seek this. When all Confucian scholars respect benevolence, righteousness and morality, there are still people who really do it. Since ancient times, they have done it.

But your set of things doesn’t even have benevolence, righteousness and morality, and your subordinates don’t even have a bottom line in their hearts. They just started and haven’t really realized how great the power they hold can bring for themselves. When they truly realize this, they are probably more greedy than Confucian scholars. What are you going to do at that time? Kill another group of corrupt officials? Then you set up another group, and then these people slowly become new corrupt officials. You keep killing like this. Even if you can’t kill them, you can’t realize your bright world.

Instead, it keeps the world going on.

Just like Emperor Taizu Gao.

You are very brave, and I also admit that you are noble. Putting aside your means and just by your original intention, you can compare with the ancient sages.

But.

Others are mortals after all.

If you listen to me, why bother yourself?

With your strength at this time, what kind of wealth you can’t do? Why do you have to struggle with an ideal that is destined to be unfulfilled?"

Ye Mengxiong said.

Yang Feng looked at the materials in his hand calmly. These were all left-behind generals, commune officials, militia generals from all over the country and those special envoys. They were definitely not fake. Ye Mengxiong could not have faked them, but the number was not large. After all, the militia at this time were not easy to mess with, and they would shoot black guns if they angered them. In fact, there have been such examples. The militia general bullied the militia, and then was thrown from the window in the middle of the night with a flowering bullet that ignited the fuse, and the couple were bombed to death.

This kind of thing will inevitably happen. Jiu Qiansui is not a good person. It is tantamount to expecting him to do a good job of internal discipline, which is like expecting a wolf to take a group of wolves to eat vegetarian food.

"Marquis of Liaodong, I am all sincere. Now, in fact, it can be said that the administration is clear and clear than in the past. Why should I ask for a higher level? When the water is clear, there is no fish. Just stop when it is enough. If you are willing to stop when it is enough, I am willing to go to Chengtian and persuade King Lu and others to stop. After all, the empress dowager is still there, so why should you let Your Majesty continue to fight with brothers? At that time, Your Majesty can re-establish the prime minister, and you will be the prime minister and the commander-in-chief in charge of military affairs."

Chen Yiguan said.

Yang Feng suddenly laughed...

"No, I decided to kill a group of corrupt officials just like Taizu, and then kill a group of corrupt officials, and then kill a group of them again and again, until I can't kill them. Why don't I fight for the people for a hundred years of bright world? Look, I don't have much ideals, and I'm very satisfied with a hundred years of bright world."

He stood up and said.

Then he just took the materials and turned around and left.

The two old men behind were stunned...
