Ming politicians

() Arriving at the stables, Su Tiancheng, following Fan Jingwen, Wang Daozhi and others, made a special trip to mourn Xu Guangqi.

As soon as he returned to the official post, Wang Dazhi came to report that Mr. Xu Er had come.

Su Tiancheng quickly stood up and went to the gate of the official post to greet him.

There was no expression on Xu Eryi's face, and no smile was visible. Seeing such a situation, Su Tiancheng's heart skipped a beat. It seemed that there must be something wrong with Xu Eryi when he came here.

Zhou Yanru resigned from the position of chief assistant of the cabinet, Bi Ziyan was dismissed, Xu Eryi should have been affected, it is said that after so many years, Xu Eryi should be promoted, but he is still the head of the Ministry of Industry, and his position is not the slightest change.

"Students are planning to make a special trip to visit their teacher, but they did not expect the teacher to come here."

"Master Su, I have come to visit you specially, it's the same."

Xu Eryi's title is also wrong.

There was a smile on Su Tiancheng's face, and in his heart, he vaguely understood what was going on. It seemed that Xu Eryi must have known about what happened in Jiangning County, and he also had a different opinion. Don't worry for now, Xu Eryi one by one Will definitely say it.

"Master Su came to the stable this time, did he want to pay his respects to the emperor?"

"There is indeed such an idea. The student has already submitted a memorial, imploring to have an audience with the emperor."

"I don't know what it is for?"

"For the matter of Jiangning County, I don't know if my mentor is interested, or the student will explain the situation."

Xu Er nodded.

Su Tiancheng began to introduce the situation in detail, during the process of the introduction.He added some of his own knowledge, including the reasons why he did so.

Xu Eryi's expression gradually became serious.Obviously listening carefully.

After Su Tiancheng finished speaking, it took Xu Eryi a long time to speak.

"That's weird. What I heard in the stables is completely different. They said that you are going to attack the wealthy gentry in Jiangning County and want to confiscate their property."

"The teacher was joking, don't the students have that much ability? If the students want to confiscate their property, those gentry and wealthy households must have already complained to Ying Tian Mansion, and even came to the stables."

"Judging from what you just said, I also think it is feasible. The gentry and wealthy households have enjoyed so many gifts, but the government has encountered difficulties. It is no problem to ask them to make a certain contribution."

"The teacher can see it this way, and the students feel relieved. There is no big problem with the rich gentry in Jiangning County, but Donglin Academy and Fushe. In this, they played a very bad role. They blindly defended the rich gentry. The interests of households and the requirement to follow the ancestral system, what students can't understand is that Donglin Academy and Fushe proposed that scholars and gentry rich households should consider the important affairs of the family and the country, and don't need to consider some trivial matters , As long as they show concern for the country and the people in spirit, they have made a contribution, and as for enjoying the court's gift, that's what they should be, and they can't be entangled in specific matters."

"Kun Yuan, there is nothing wrong with what they said."

Su Tiancheng looked at Xu Eryi and spoke slowly.

"Students don't agree with my teacher's view. Just imagine, the peasants in the north are in dire straits, have no food to eat, and have no choice but to rebel. Under such circumstances, the gentry and wealthy households stand up and call for The imperial court exempted them from taxes, but they actually took out food for disaster relief. The pus is not harvested. You just exempted them from taxes. What effect can it have? You have enjoyed the favor of the imperial court. Why can’t they reach out to help? Isn’t the understanding of Donglin Academy and Fushe calling on the gentry and wealthy households to disregard the life and death of the peasants for their own benefit?

Xu Eryi was speechless for a while. He had always agreed with Donglin Academy and Fushe’s point of view. Those who work hard will rule others, and those who work hard will rule others. This is the view of sages. The peasants are the same, so what difference can be shown?

After a while, Xu Eryi spoke slowly.

"Kun Yuan, what you said makes sense, but I still think that your actions may cause big waves."

"Teacher, the student has already made all the preparations. The student will not give in on this matter. The teacher should know what kind of situation some gentry and rich households in the north will be after being invaded by bandits. At that time, I can't keep anything, and my life may be lost. I should ask someone to reason. If I knew it now, why bother at the beginning? The student's intention was to ask them to make some contributions within their ability. The student thought that this must form a system. If this situation is broken, more things will happen to the gentry and rich households."

Xu Er was very surprised. He originally thought that Su Tiancheng did this out of whim, and maybe even because of his relationship with Donglin Academy and Fushe, so he made such a decision without Su Tiancheng's understanding. , has been formed.

"Kun Yuan, you have to be cautious. Scholars, farmers, businessmen, and the imperial court have already established a system. If you do this, you will undoubtedly become an enemy of the gentry and wealthy households in the world. At that time, the emperor just wants to protect you. Difficult."

"Teacher, for the sake of the court and the emperor, the students will not consider personal gains and losses. The students made such a decision, not on a whim. My Ming Dynasty is troubled both internally and externally. If I can't make some changes, the future situation will be worse." become more difficult."

"Well, everyone knows about the difficulties of the imperial court."

"That's why the students thought of that."

Xu Er nodded and changed the subject.

"Mr. Xu Ge has passed away. I guess there must be some action in the court."

Su Tiancheng's heart moved for a moment. As soon as Xu Eryi mentioned this matter, he took the opportunity to suggest that Xu Eryi should leave the stable and go to a local place. According to Xu Eryi's position, it would not be wrong to think about how big things he would do. Most likely, on the contrary, when you get to the locality, you can display your personal talents and ambitions, and maybe make something big happen.

Besides, I can also influence Xu Eryi appropriately.

"The change of personnel in the imperial court, the students thought it was normal, it was not a big deal, the students felt that the mentor could think about it, and asked to be released to Fuzhou to do things."

"Oh, Kun Yuan, why do you look at it like this, I have never thought about the matter of letting go."

"Students think that the mentor can think about it. Although in the imperial court, you can know many important things, and you can directly give opinions and suggestions to the imperial court, but when you go to the local area, you can practice it yourself and make some achievements. An experience."

Leaving the stables and becoming an official in the local area, under the current situation, it seems that there is some sense of being reviled.

Su Tiancheng didn't think of it this way. In fact, it is more important to make achievements in the local area. Through his own practice, mastering some situations is far better than listening to others in the stables.

Officials like Xu Eryi have a certain understanding. When they go to Fuzhou and know the actual situation below, they can also understand more clearly what is not suitable for the consideration of officials in the court.

"Kun Yuan, do you really see it this way?"

"Students really think this way. If they didn't face their teacher, they wouldn't say such things. Many people think that it's not a glorious thing to let go outside. Students don't agree with this understanding. If they can't be familiar with the following situation, High above you, the opinions and suggestions you put forward must be more appropriate, and if you really understand the situation below, you can empathize with them, and what you say will definitely be different.”

"Well, your understanding is very reasonable. I really didn't understand you when you asked to be released. Now it seems that you have done a lot of things in Jiangning County. If you stay in the stable, these things , It is impossible to do well, look at Chen Yutai and Wu Weiye, compared with you, there is a big gap."

"The teacher mentioned Chen Yutai and Wu Weiye, there is evil, the students have to say it."

"If you have any ideas, just say it."

"Students also know something about the struggles within the imperial court. Students think that Chen Yutai and Wu Weiye are both immersed in these struggles. How can they do things under such circumstances? Afterwards, it seemed to be tempered, but this kind of change is very sad. I just got acquainted with the intrigue among bureaucrats, but I didn't think of doing things in a real way. In such a situation, I was considered to have entered the cabinet , and what achievements can be made.”

As soon as Xu Er looked at Su Tiancheng, he couldn't believe that Su Tiancheng would say such words.

"Teacher, what the students say is from the bottom of their hearts. The students think that the foundation is not solid, and the earth is shaking. If my prefectures and counties in the Ming Dynasty cannot be self-sufficient and cannot pay taxes to the court, how will the court maintain it?" , if all the officials think about staying in the stables, no one is willing to let it out, and it is a shame to let it out, who is willing to do things in Fuzhou County? To put it more bluntly, the officials in Fuzhou County , All I think about in my mind is to get promoted and get rich, I don’t want to do things, I don’t care about the life and death of the common people, such situations will shake the foundation of my Ming Dynasty.”

After a long while, Xu Eryi finally spoke.

"Kun Yuan, what you said made me feel very deeply. Yes, if I am an official of the Ming Dynasty, all I think of is my own interests. If it is those gentry and wealthy households, it is also for their own consideration. How the imperial court is maintained, I really can't think of it, I am old, and I still have to rely on you to persuade me, that's okay, I will submit a memorial and ask for it to be released."
