I am the king of the dead

Jin San has been working on this wharf for more than 20 years. The county magistrates have come and gone, and have changed more than a dozen times, but Jin San is still the leader of the Hukou Wharf, and everyone respectfully calls him the third master.

Such people naturally have some discernment.

Jin San got a little closer, and his heart skipped a beat. Judging by his posture, he obviously kicked the iron plate!

Beside the man in the middle, except for a few people, the others are all ten steps away, and the guarding Tiqi who are ten steps away are all bigger than him, with thick backs, fierce eyes, guns in their waists, and There are also six-sided wooden boxes on it, which look like a swarm of bees in the legend.

Jin San stood still, his eyes flickered for a few times, and then he shouted loudly: "Masters, if you offend me, Jin San is here to make a match for you."

"If you don't offend me, let's make friends with the burning of the boat today and make money with peace."

Zhu Qiyu took a few steps outside, looked at Jin San, pulled out the flintlock pistol from his waist, and raised his hand to fire the gun. The lead bullet pierced into Jin San's heart with a screaming sound.

Jin San watched in disbelief as his heart opened wide, and he fell down slowly.

Before he was about to die, he didn't understand why that elder brother, who looked pampered at first sight, would strike without saying a word, so ruthless.

The onlookers on the pier who had been watching yelled and turned away. Only Jin San's yard boys were left, standing there at a loss.

This triggered the fire of the gun, and if you look at it further, something will really happen. Lead bullets don't have eyes.

"Take someone." Zhu Qiyu blew on the white and yellow smoke from the blowgun, and said to the two Qianhu who were punished.

Ti Xing Qianhu drew out the sounding arrow in his hand and fired it into the air. The sounding arrow burst into the air with huge fireworks, which were still clearly visible even in the daytime.

The emperor of the Ming Dynasty traveled, in addition to accompanying Tiqi, and nearly 3000 Beijing troops had already rushed to Hukou.

Zhu Qiyu came here this time to see the excitement, but the excitement was made by himself.

He is suppressing bandits.

Jin San, nicknamed Hunjianglong, is a tyrant of the Yangtze River Cao Gang, with nearly a thousand people under his command. No one dared to provoke him in Poyang Lake for more than 20 years.

In Zhu Qiyu's impression, the Cao Gang should cut wood for boats, build up soil to form a village, and form a water village, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack, just like Liangshan moored by water.

In fact, the main place where this kind of Cao gang hang out is the wharf, and this Jin San is just a domestic slave of the Jinxi Lu family.

Xing'an said seriously: "Your Majesty's marksmanship is as accurate as ever!"

Xing'an is not flattering, His Majesty's firearms are extremely accurate.

Zhu Qiyu filled the flintlock pistol in his hand with gunpowder, and continued: "The points from the Hukou Wharf are divided into three, one is given to the county magistrate, one is given to Lu Laixuan, and one is kept for myself. Otherwise, how dare you act so recklessly in broad daylight?"

"For these three shares, Lu Laixuan gets [-]%, the county magistrate gets [-]%, and Jin San gets [-]%."

Lu Laixuan also needs to share the profit, like Yao Long, the governor of Jiangxi Province, should get a share.

What if Yao Long doesn't take it?

That's not a person who goes all the way, and Yao Long can't move an inch in Jiangxi.

It is even more difficult to be a good official.

Zhu Qiyu kicked the tax collector who was pushed down and said: "This tax collector is from the Hukou County Government, but not entirely."

"The tax collectors are all outsiders of the Hukou County Government. If there is something wrong with the allocation of Hukou and the cover is lifted, the Hukou County Government can shirk it to Jin San, saying that Jin San makes his own rules and The tax collector is temporarily collecting money for lessons, and the county government doesn’t know about it, so he must be seriously rectified if he is responsible for negligence.”

"There are supervisors, such as the inspector censor, who can only be punished with three glasses of wine due to ineffective supervision."

"As for the censors, they also hold the mentality that more things are worse than less things. Big things are turned into small things, and small things are turned into small things. They form a good relationship, go to the Taoist memorial, and talk about the peacefulness of the country, the people's peace, the singing and dancing, and the peacefulness of all the years."

"This good thing is wiped out, and the bad thing is blindness. It is pushed to the temporary tax collectors. This official can be regarded as understanding for them."

In this wicked feudal society, this kind of officials who eat and wait to die account for more than half.

Zhu Qiyu couldn't help thinking that Lian Gang and others went to Sichuan to investigate the first case. Ba County actually had [-] yamen servants, and the leader of the yamen servants, Li Sanyuan, was also a bully in Sichuan.

"Your Majesty is guilty." Knowing that His Majesty was scolding him, Yao Long bowed his head pale and said.

Does Yao Long know?Know.

But so what?

When Yao Long first arrived in Jiangxi, he met an extremely mature school lord like the Jinxi Lu family. There were officials in the local area, and they were all under his control. Yao Long was completely ostracized as soon as he confiscated the money.

Even Lu Laixuan and Yao Long of the Jinxi Lu family were helpless, let alone the Hukou Wharf.

Zhu Qiyu looked at Yao Long who was pleading guilty, but shook his head and said: "Be flat, you have done a good job, you know you can't handle them, so you ask me for help, you see, if you make a little noise, I will be invited by you come yet?"

Yao Long wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, bowed his head and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your forgiveness."

Yu Qian glanced at Yao Long enviously. How could he have any chance to ask for help when he had served in the local government for 25 years?

You have to carry everything by yourself, and you have to solve everything by yourself.

Lu Zhong came back soon. He went to Jiangxinzhou and demolished all the checkpoints in Hukou.

The county magistrate finally arrived slowly.

In the eyes of the county magistrate, it is not uncommon for the gangs and people at this wharf to fight. After they finish fighting, the county magistrate will come out again, investigate, give a result, and post a list to stabilize the hearts of the people.

Yu Qian knew this county magistrate, and he said with a frown: "This man's name is Rong Deren, a native of Xining, the capital of Shaanxi Province. .”

Yu Qian knew him because Yu Qian met him once when this person left Beijing.

At that time, Yu Qian had already returned to the Ministry of War to preside over the affairs of the Ministry of War, and Rong Deren had also sent a greeting card to Yu Qian.

Yu Qian knew Rong Deren, but Rong Deren didn't know Yu Qian.

"Yao Fangbo, what kind of wind has brought you here, and I didn't say hello in advance. I will prepare well and entertain you." Rong Deren rushed to Yao Long to meet him.

The atmosphere froze for a while.

Even Yu Qian was stunned, this Rong Deren, who was awarded Jinshi and handed him the invitation card, didn't know him?

Probably because of being pampered and pampered these years, Yu Qian also gained a lot of weight.

With a little bit of discernment, Rong Deren could tell that the one in the middle was the true master.

However, when Rong Deren saw Yao Long, it was as if he had grabbed the rope from the sky, and he couldn't tolerate others anymore.

Yao Long didn't say a word, he couldn't bear this ceremony.

Zhu Qiyu looked at Rong Deren, who had a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, and then looked at the river.

Rong Deren felt the embarrassment of the atmosphere, looked around for a while, and was shocked when he saw the swarm of hexagons!

"May I ask you both..." Rong Deren said rather strangely.

Zhu Qiyu looked at Rong Deren and asked, "How much benefit did you get from setting up a card here?"

Rong Deren secretly thought that this person is so uneducated, and he doesn't understand the taboos of shallow words and deep feelings, and said impatiently: "How dare I take it, I didn't take a cent, you don't want to rely on white dirt to be innocent. "

At this time, Rong Deren suddenly saw Jin San's corpse, and he was finally stunned seeing the open-mouthed appearance.

This bully was beaten to death just like that?

"Why do you allow them to set up a card here?" Zhu Qiyu asked again.

Rong Deren shook his head violently and said: "Look at what you said. I can control them? He is the watchdog of the Jinxi Lu family. I can't beat the dog without looking at the owner?"

"I would like to go to the memorial, but the court is half of Jiangxi. I handed in the memorial. I am afraid that I will be drowned by the saliva before there are any waves."

Rong Deren didn't know Zhu Qiyu's identity, but he also knew that the person in front of him was a nobleman.

Many people in court knew about Zhu Qiyu's stay in Gantang Bieyuan in Jiujiang Mansion, but not many people on the ground in Jiangxi knew about it. This is a typical lack of information.

As long as Yao Long and Yang Han don't talk too much, the ground in Jiangxi will know that there are noble people coming from Jiujiang Mansion. As for how expensive they are, they don't know.

"How much money have you been greedy for?" Zhu Qiyu asked again.

Rong Deren considered it for a while and said, "It's less than 3000 taels of silver."

"Take it." Zhu Qiyu glanced at Lu Zhong, then at Rong Deren, and said when he walked past Rong Deren, "I will leave you a whole body."

I?

I!

The nobleman of Jiujiang Mansion is the Emperor of Ming Dynasty?

When Rong Deren was knocked down by Ti Qi, his complexion was golden, as if mourning.

He knew he was dead.

According to the 95 articles of the "Constitutional Outline" formulated by the Ming Dynasty in the second year of Jingtai, one hundred taels were removed, 300 taels were expelled from fame, 500 taels were exiled, 1000 taels were killed, 5000 taels were corrupted, and the whole family was exiled. Rong Deren should be killed according to the law.

If you give face, you will not beheaded to show the public, but hang it on the Tonghui River as a warning to others.

Zhu Qiyu looked back at Rong Deren and said: "It's okay, there are many people accompanying you on Huangquan Road, so don't worry so much."

The boat jam in Hukou County has disappeared, and Yu Qian is a little older. On the way back to Jiujiang Mansion, Zhu Qiyu did not stand on the deck to blow the wind, but went into the ship's cabin.

Zhu Qiyu looked out the window and said, "Yu Shaobao, I'm confused."

"The culture was created in the Zhao and Song Dynasties, and the people with lofty ideals in the Song Dynasty were like crucian carp crossing the river. Why did the Song Dynasty take the way of the weak people alone?"

There is no doubt that the way of the weak people in the Song Dynasty was extremely prosperous. It was established on the household system of rural households and square Guohu. Emphasizing literature over military affairs, and using literature to control martial arts, eventually resulted in a weak national power.

In the final analysis, the weakness of the Song Dynasty was completely the way of the weak people.

There were so many scholar-bureaucrats in the Song and Song Dynasties, couldn't they see it?

Yu Qian thought for a while, and said very seriously: "Your Majesty, the "Book of Shang Jun" says: The people are weak and the country is strong, and the people are strong and the country is weak, so a country with the right way should focus on the weak people."

"Your Majesty, after the Northern Song Dynasty signed the Chanyuan Alliance with the Liao Kingdom, the Liao Kingdom was able to help the military and was extremely rich, but the Liao Kingdom continued to exploit the people as much as possible, leaving the people weak."

"If there is a battle and defeat, the meat eaters of the Liao Kingdom can go west or surrender to the Northern Song Dynasty, but the weak people can't run away, they can only fight to the end."

"If the common people are fed and drunk, will they still have the motivation to go south and plunder the Northern Song Dynasty?"

Zhu Qiyu suddenly stared at Yu Qian with wide-eyed eyes, sat up straight suddenly, and said full of doubts: "No, isn't Shang Yang's reform a reward for farming?"

"I remember that the land in Guanzhong was not enough to be distributed at that time, so it had to be distributed outside the Guanzhong. People in the old Qin had a lot of opinions."

"If it's all the law of the weak, why is Qin strong and Song weak?"

Yu Qian shook his head and said: "The theory of weak people is absurd, and the [-] volumes of "Shang Jun Shu" "Weak People" were originally made by later generations under the guise of the association."

"Besides... Qin rewarded the public land for plowing and fighting, Song sold the public land for profit, and finally came up with the public land law. After four years of implementation, it was sadly withdrawn."

Did Shang Yang himself have weak people?Yu Qian didn't discuss it, he can't deceive the emperor, and he can't talk nonsense if he doesn't know, but this "Weak People" article refined by later generations can be said to cause endless harm.

The Song Dynasty always practiced the national policy of weak people and deliberately created poor people.

Zhu Qiyu leaned on the back of the chair and said: "No wonder the Jin people can make Kaifeng their capital, Wanyan's family is not afraid of the old Zhao's family being beaten back at all."

"The one who wins the hearts of the people wins the world, and the one who loses the hearts of the people loses the world."

Yu Qian leaned forward and said: "Your Majesty, I think that the policy of weak people is not advisable. Throughout the long history, the most able to fight are mostly those who have regular births."

Chapter 721 Daming, Always Keeps His Promises!

Yu Qian said that those who can fight most are those who have regular births.

In the Qin Dynasty, there were regular workers called old Qin people, who were composed of landowners who were famous for their military merits. These old Qin people helped the Great Qin to unify the world for the first time, and helped the Great Han to unify the world for the second time.

However, in the continuous great speculation in the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, based on the field system of the equal-field system, the Fubing system established flattened the world.

What about the Song Dynasty?

The Song Dynasty was full of landless people and rebellious people. The Song court could only recruit and set up Xiangjun to resettle them. The overstaffing of this Xiangjun became a serious problem for the Song Dynasty.

The common people have no perseverance if they don’t have constant property. Today it’s Song and Liao, tomorrow it’s Jin and Yuan.

In Daming, those with permanent property were replaced by hereditary military households and guards. Although the guards were ruined, they gradually moved from three sides to six sides, and finally to nine sides, and some military households remained.

Until the end of the Ming Dynasty, there was still a saying that those who win the three sides (Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningxia) win the world.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the fighting power of the Ming army was not weak, and there was even a saying that the food and salaries were enough for gods.

Zhu Qiyu said quite affirmatively: "The law of the weak people is not acceptable, so what does Yu Shaobao think about the five techniques of controlling the people?"

Yu Qian frowned and asked, "What are the five arts of controlling the people?"

"Yu Shaobao doesn't know what the Five Arts of Controlling the People are?"

Yu Qian said very confidently: "I don't know."

Zhu Qiyu thought about it carefully and said: "The first is stupidity, the second is weak, the third is poverty, the fourth is humiliation, and the fifth is fatigue. These are the five skills of controlling the people."

After hearing this, Yu Qian shuddered and said, "Did your Majesty learn the five arts from Shang Jun's book?"

Zhu Qiyu denied it and said: "That's not true. I have read every one of the 24 chapters in Shang Jun's book, and I have read it many times, but I haven't gotten the root of the five arts."

Zhu Qiyu specially read "The Book of Shang Jun". There are 29 chapters in this book, five chapters are scattered, and only 24 chapters are left.
