Cutting over the end of the Ming Dynasty: a dog-leg knife at the beginning

Chapter 520 Strategy 2
Yang Menglong frowned as soon as he saw this man's arrogant look... He couldn't be beaten. He was from the cabinet and was Wen Tiren's confidant!I didn't throw your child into the well. Do you deserve to be so excited?Why can't Mao say it well?

Wang Yingxiong burst into tears, pointed at Yang Menglong tremblingly, and shouted: "Your Majesty, please kill this beast, otherwise our Ming Dynasty will be destroyed!"

Good guy, it's really impressive to let the emperor kill people with just one opening.The civil servant was very excited, and he called the boss in his heart, and hit this kid's arrogance hard!Chongzhen frowned in disgust, as disgusting as swallowing a fly... This is the same thing again, is it annoying, can't you just talk about it if you have something to say?He had a bad look on his face: "Wang Aiqing, Yang Aiqing has made great military exploits and is the pillar of the Ming Dynasty. Why did you want to kill him the moment you opened your mouth?"

Yang Menglong called: "That's right, I didn't throw your child into the well, and I didn't give you a cuckold. Why did you want my life as soon as you opened your mouth? Did I provoke you?"

Wang Yingxiong said in a stern voice: "Because you are so ambitious and deceive the public with your monstrous words, trying to overthrow our country, the Ming Dynasty! Your lies can deceive others, but you cannot deceive me!"

Yang Menglong raised his brows and said, "Master Wang, I wonder if you have heard the old saying 'Don't pretend to be a man, and you will be struck by lightning'? You said that I deceived the public with my evil words and tried to overthrow the Ming Dynasty, okay, Show the evidence! If you can't show the evidence, don't blame me for being rude to you!"

This guy is really a stone in a latrine, smelly and hard, and he is not polite to anyone.Wang Yingxiong poked his neck and said, "Evidence? What you just said is evidence!"

Yang Menglong put his hands on his waist and sneered: "What did I just say?" He, the governor of Huguang who has not officially taken office, is only a second rank, while Wang Yingxiong is a first rank, second only to Wen Tiren. He was born in the armed forces, and he was three grades shorter when he met civil servants. He dared to confront Wang Yingxiong tit-for-tat.This man is not just as simple as being fat, he pointed directly at Wang Yingxiong's nose and said, "If you have the ability, you will be convicted of the crime that was placed on me, otherwise I will tell you that you will not be able to eat or go away today!"

Wang Yingxiong snorted coldly: "Scholars, farmers, businessmen, the four dimensions of the country! Farming and mulberry are the foundation of the country, the lifeblood of the country. Right now there are millions of refugees in the Ming Dynasty, and the hungry are everywhere. It is too late to vigorously encourage the people to open up wasteland and farm. You want to waste a large piece of fertile land, and recruit good people to make those ingenious and obscene things. Huguang is the granary of our Ming Dynasty. You build a workshop in Huguang and encourage the people to pursue fame and fortune. Isn’t this overthrowing our country and what is it? "He said loudly: "If you succeed, the vast and fertile fields in Huguang will be barren, and there will be no grain of rice or wheat handed over to the treasury. If you succeed, otherwise, the people will be destitute and the people of the country will complain, and by then, the Great Ming will be in jeopardy!"

This guy is really not an ordinary poison, he put a big hat on Yang Menglong as soon as he opened his mouth.China is an agricultural country, and it has been like this since ancient times. All dynasties have regarded agriculture as the lifeline of the country—in fact, there is nothing wrong with it. For a large country with a large population, agriculture is the foundation. Not to mention stability, instability, and how much development is an extravagant hope.However, Yang Menglong wants to vigorously develop industry and commerce, which completely violates the old tradition, especially the vigorous development of industry. There is no such precedent in any previous dynasty. The development of industry requires a lot of manpower, which will definitely have a negative impact on agricultural production. Of course, everyone does not agree to the huge impact.As soon as Wang Yingxiong said this, all civil servants responded one after another:
"What Master Wang said is absolutely true! Master Yang does not try his best to develop Zhan Sang, but is obsessed with those strange and obscene things, it is really unwise!"

"Hmph, in my opinion, he is not unwise, but harboring evil intentions!"

"It is too much to disregard the foundation of the country for one's own self-interest!"

"Competing for profit with the people! This is competing for profit with the people!"

"Master Yang, you are digging the roots of my Ming Dynasty!"

A group of officials who had been beaten repeatedly in front of Yang Menglong, and were even slapped in the face by him with an ivory wat, jumped up like chicken blood, gesticulated, their faces were red, and they were so excited.Fortunately, they had learned their lesson and never poked their fingers on Yang Menglong's nose or sprayed saliva on Yang Menglong's face again.It was also beaten, it was an honor to be beaten by the emperor, and it was a representative of the industry's conscience, but it was no honor to be beaten by Yang Menglong, who was about the same age as his grandson.Lu Xiangsheng, Fu Zonglong and other ministers frowned when they saw this. Lu Xiangsheng said: "Actually, the champion marquis opening a factory is also a good thing that benefits the country and the people. It can produce many rare goods and earn a lot of money..."

The speech officials roared: "This is a struggle with the people!"

Lu Xiangsheng said: "Opening factories can absorb a large number of refugees, so that they have clothes to wear and food to eat..."

The officials roared: "This is a waste of agriculture and mulberry, shaking the foundation of the country!"

Anyway, in the eyes of these uncles, no matter what you do, it's wrong.Recruiting refugees to set up factories is competing with the people for profit, while revitalizing industry and commerce is putting the cart before the horse and shaking the country.As for not setting up factories, they don’t care about how to resettle so many refugees. That’s what you have to worry about, Yang Menglong.Yang Menglong has finally learned how powerful the speaker is, they are really a bunch of mad dogs, they will bite whoever they catch, and they will not stop until they bite you to the point of bleeding.The most amazing thing is that they don’t have to bear legal responsibility at all for their rumors and slanders. If the people they slandered can prove their innocence, at most they will say that I made a mistake, and then nothing will happen. If they really let them If you catch your fault, you will be miserable!Looking at this group of guys, Yang Menglong feels inexplicably familiar...It is very similar to the American litigation sticks, is it there?
These guys are so fierce and unafraid of death when it comes to biting people. Anyway, they are the most unattractive officials. They have almost nothing and nothing to lose. If they can bite their opponents down, maybe they can successfully rise to the top. !It was this bunch of bastards who didn't do anything serious who made a mess of national affairs. Yan Guan must bear at least half of the responsibility for the demise of the Ming Dynasty!

I don't know if old Zhu Quan knows, will he cry bitterly?

He folded his arms without saying a word, letting a group of mad dogs spout wildly, very calm.

Wen Tiren, Wang Yingxiong, Hou Xun and others looked at each other in surprise.Ordinarily, a young boy like Yang Menglong would lose his composure and might get into a fight when encountering such a situation. How could he remain so calm?This kid is difficult to deal with!

Chongzhen couldn't stand it anymore and shouted sternly: "Shut up! You are roaring loudly in the court hall. How unbecoming is this!" After calming down the officials, he asked Yang Menglong: "Yang Aiqing, what do you have to say?"

Yang Menglong said slowly: "I have nothing to say. Someone is talking nonsense with their eyes open. It's useless for me to say anything."

Wang Yingxiong asked angrily: "Why did the champion say this?"

Yang Menglong said: "If your eyes are not breathable, you should know that the grain harvests in Heluo and Denglai have been bumper this year. The average yield of wheat per acre in Heluo is nearly three shi, and that in Denglai is about [-] shi. As high as two shi, there is still a lot of grain left to sell after paying the full amount of taxes."

Wang Yingxiong snorted: "That's because you are lucky! The champion doesn't dare to ensure that there will be such a good year every year, right?"

Yang Menglong sneered: "A good year? Yes, this year is really good. The land in Xinyang, Zhangde, Weihui, and Kaifeng is cracked, locusts cover the fields, and the crops are not harvested. This year is really good. By the way, Mr. Wang, the drought in Henan is so severe this year, the local and state capitals have played a lot, right? Don’t you even watch it? What are you busy with all day long?”

Wang Yingxiong cried out inwardly that it was terrible, he was only focused on fighting with Yang Menglong, but he forgot that the disaster in Henan this year was actually quite serious, and it was already a miracle that the grain harvest in Heluo area was good. He actually said that it was a good year, isn't that Are you looking for a draw?Without waiting for him to speak, Yang Menglong continued: "Those who say that my factory has abandoned Nongsang, if your eyes are not blind, I would be happy to take you to the Heluo area to see the newly reclaimed land. Land, newly built canals, waterwheels, reservoirs, who would like to come with me?”

The ministers were dumbfounded... The agricultural production in the Heluo area is booming, with more and more land being reclaimed year by year, and grain output getting higher and higher year by year. No matter how eloquent you are, in the face of ironclad facts, no good.

Chongzhen made up for it in time: "According to Jin Yiwei's report, 40 mu of new fields have been reclaimed in the Heluo area this year, more than 300 canals and [-] reservoirs have been built. The production in the Heluo area is doing very well."

Yang Menglong spread his hands and said, "Did you see it? When I set up a factory, I did not delay farming. On the contrary, I spent more effort on farming than any other region!"

Wang Yingxiong said bravely: "Having said that, those strange and cunning things are of no use after all..."

Yang Menglong rushed forward, pointed at Wang Yingxiong's nose and yelled: "Damn it, are you thinking about wood grain or sand? Your mouth is dry when you talk, but you don't listen at all? Don't run a factory? , Where can I get cement to build canals and reservoirs! If I don’t set up a factory, how can I get enough steel to make various farm tools! If I don’t set up a factory, where can I get enough pesticides and phosphate fertilizers! Do you really think that every acre in Heluo area Did a three-stone wheat harvest fall from the sky? People like you, who have degraded knowledge, rigid concepts, aging organs and are waiting to be cremated, have the nerve to stand in front of me with five people and six people. What the hell!? If I were you, I might as well hide my face. Got it!"

There was a dead silence in the Golden Hall...

Everyone looked at Yang Menglong who was pointing at Wang Yingxiong's nose and yelling, in admiration.Dare to roar like this in front of the emperor, this kid really has the guts of a bear!Wang Yingxiong's complexion turned red at first as if someone had slapped him severely, then turned red and purple, then turned blue, his chest heaved like a bellows, trembling, pointing at Yang Menglong tremblingly, shouting: " Zhuzi...Zhuzi is rude, An dare...to insult the old man like that!"

Yang Menglong roared angrily: "That's because you're being mean, and you're looking for scolding on purpose! A guy like you who can't do anything well and just keeps picking on other people's faults, don't scold you! Even if you can only pick on others! I admit I was wrong, but at any rate, you should open your eyes a little bit to see before you find fault, and scold you without even looking at it, I think your bones are itchy, look for it!"

Wang Yingxiong was so angry that he almost vomited blood, pointed at Yang Menglong and was speechless.

Wen Tiren said in a deep voice: "Marquis Champion, although you are a marquis, Mr. Wang is not even one level above you. Isn't it a little inappropriate for you to insult Shangguan like this?"

Yang Menglong said sadly: "It's not right for me to insult Shangguan, so what if he puts on me a hat of overthrowing the Ming Dynasty and charges me with a crime enough to destroy my nine clans? He doesn't ask indiscriminately. What does it matter if the emperor punishes me?"

Wen Tiren was dumbfounded.In fact, those crimes and the big hat are nothing special. They are old routines in the court party struggle. The party who makes the trouble puts a big hat on the other side as soon as he opens his mouth. The bigger the buckle, the more it will arouse the emperor. Note that the more beneficial it is to yourself, this is called head start.Of course, even if the opponent is defeated, it is unlikely that he will be killed as Wang Yingxiong said. Anyone know these tricks?They are all very calm.

But Yang Menglong didn't know, he thought the other party was serious, so he became serious too...

For his seriousness, Wang Yingxiong was scolded bloody by him...
