Da Ming Tai Shi

Chapter 104
After hearing what Luo Sanhu said, Chen Yunfu's heart became even heavier.

In this case, it can be said that everyone is a victim.

Luo Daniu is not an exception, and Henan is by no means the only province that forcibly recruits young men.

The 50 civilians of the Northern Expedition were apportioned to the provinces, which meant that there were tens of thousands of Luo Daniu in places that Chen Yunfu couldn't see, but they were not as ruthless as Luo Daniu and Luo Sanhu, and dared to kill officials, but I chose to leave my family and property to serve this corvee.

Then when these strong men and the pillars of the family leave, who knows what will happen to the family, who cares.

In any large-scale service of corvee in ancient times, the common people were not all the most pitiful group of victims.

Chen Yunfu is familiar with the history of the Ming Dynasty, and he clearly remembers in his mind that Zhu Laosi had several times of large-scale conscripts in Shandong after he succeeded to the throne, forcing out the so-called Madonna of the White Lotus, Tang Sai'er.

In such a prosperous age, tens of thousands of people were forced to rebel. Although the court finally succeeded in suppressing the rebellion, the heads of tens of thousands of innocent people were stains that could not be washed off Zhu Laosi's body.

Because these tens of thousands of people were deliberately forced out by Mr. Zhu himself!

The reason is that he suffered a loss in Shandong during the rebellion.

The depth of the persecution even reached the miserable stage of "skinning the bark of trees, digging up grass roots, and selling their wives and sons to survive".

Blind worship is unacceptable.

But now, although the situation in Ruyang County is not that miserable, isn't it also destroying Luo Da Niu's family?

They are all human tragedies.

"Take Luo Sanhu back to his Luojiazhuang."

After Chen Yunfu finished speaking, he paused, stood up again and sighed: "Come on, I will go too, let me inform you, I will move the Xingyuan of Henan to Luojiazhuang this time!"

There was a sudden shock in the hall, and Mu Shiqun couldn't bear it anymore.

"Great scholar, the Luo Family Manor might be in danger. To protect you, it's better for us not to move."

"exactly."

Yang Gui also echoed repeatedly: "It's better to ask the Grand Scholars to stay in Luoyang, so that the officials and others can do their best as landlords."

"The people's fat, the people's anointing, the official should do things for the people." Chen Yunfu pointed to the Jieshi Pavilion outside the main hall, and said coldly: "Yang Fantai can still recite the words engraved on the Jieshi ordered by His Majesty."

Yang Gui was sweating profusely and tremblingly said.

"You eat and you eat, and the people are fat and the people are anointed; the people are easy to abuse, but the heavens are hard to bully."

"Patting my conscience more when I have nothing to do, examine myself three times a day, look at what I have done, and eat the people's fat and people's ointment in my stomach."

"It's all thanks to the imperial court that the common people can inherit peace and live in a prosperous age. It's only natural to pay food, tax and serve."

An official was a little annoyed and muttered in a low voice.

Chen Yunfu's ears were sharp, and he caught it immediately.

"Who is the speaker?"

This official was not timid, he stood up and replied loudly: "Your official, Xie Hengqu, lives in the chief executive and envoy Si Zuo to participate in politics."

If the left participates in politics, that is the third in command.

Chen Yunfu groaned, looked at this person and said, "You just said that it's just and right?"

"Isn't it?" Xie Hengqu straightened his neck and said confidently: "The lower officials don't object to saying that I wait for the fat of the people to anoint the people, but the imperial court needs the army to protect the people, the generals to command, and the officials to govern the region. , If I have no generals and soldiers in the Ming Dynasty, and there are no officials and subordinates in the local area, will the country still exist?"

"does not exist."

Chen Yunfu didn't quibble, he said frankly: "Without the protection of the army, the country will surely perish."

"If the country is destroyed, where is the home?"

"It's also broken."

Xie Hengqu suddenly got excited and vowed to argue with Chen Yunfu.

"Since the academician also thinks so, should the common people pay food and taxes while enjoying the protection of the court? Otherwise, what will the court use to support the army and officials?"

Chen Yunfu could tell that this Xie Hengqu in front of him was a good at changing concepts secretly.

If you want to have a debate, then go ahead.

Chen Yunfu sat back in his seat, looked at Xie Hengqu leisurely, and said to the latter.

"I really want to hear Xie Canzheng's high-level remarks."

Xie Hengqu looked down on a child like Chen Yunfu from the bottom of his heart, and he was also confident. He didn't believe that Chen Yunfu could talk about himself, so he was extremely confident.

"Without the protection of the imperial court, the common people are just rootless duckweed and lambs waiting to be slaughtered. This is where we eat the fat and oil of the common people. It should be said that every meal the common people eat is a reward from His Majesty and the court.

I don't know that Cheng En dared to disobey orders and kill officials to cause chaos. Isn't this eating the court's food but smashing the court's pot? "

Chen Yunfu closed his eyes. It wasn't that he didn't know how to refute at this moment, but he was completely angry and wanted to control his emotions.

Like Xie Hengqu's argument, even after hundreds of years, Chen Yunfu has heard it!

"It's a shame that you are still a dignified leftist in politics, and you can say such stupid and anti-intellectual words!"

After holding back for a long time, Chen Yunfu finally didn't swear, but he still scolded: "What do you think of the common people? Are they just lambs raised by the imperial court!
You should make it clear that the people pay food and taxes because the court protects the people. If our court is unwilling to do even the most basic protection of the people, but abuses, labors, and harms the people, why should the people Pay food and taxes!
As an official like you, is it possible that the people still beg you to manage them and govern them!

Every grain of rice you eat and every foot of clothes you wear is not planted and sewn by ordinary people. All your food, clothing and salary come from the labor of the people, and the output of the people, a day Porridge and meals are all earned by their labor, rather than relying on anyone's support and gifts. This is the most basic common sense in life!
What right do you have to shamelessly say that you have become the benefactor of the common people here!
People like you are no longer able to cover their faces with little reading and little knowledge, but are completely devoid of conscience and completely evil and selfish, so they can speak such beastly words that are not the son of man and do not eat food! "

Chen Yunfu couldn't hold back his emotions until the end of the scolding, so he simply scolded Xie Hengqu to the ground, without saving him any more face.

Sure enough, after Chen Yunfu scolded him so furiously, Xie Hengqu's face was both ashamed and angry, the paleness kept changing, and finally he gritted his teeth.

"Although the Grand Scholars are one of the Nine Ministers, they are not worthy of insulting the lower officials like this. What is the etiquette?"

This bastard, at this time, can only think of one way to fight back against Chen Yunfu, and that is to put a big hat on Chen Yunfu's head for being rude.

Chen Yunfu was not afraid at all, looking directly at Xie Hengqu.

"I am waiting for your impeachment memorial at the General Administration Commissioner. Don't worry, I will definitely send it to His Majesty's imperial court intact, and I will send it along with my impeachment memorandum!"

After speaking, Chen Yunfu shook his sleeves and left.

But Xie Hengqu's face suddenly turned pale.

Facing impeachment, could he be Chen Yunfu's opponent?

After living for decades, he has never even seen what Zhu Yuanzhang looks like.

Isn't this bullying!
But Yang Gui and the others looked at Xie Hengqu at this time, their eyes were as if they were looking at a dead person.

Looking at each other, they all had ideas in their hearts.
