Ming politicians

() Now that the purpose of coming has been clarified, Su Tiancheng doesn't want to delay any longer, he plans to visit Sun Chengzong directly.

Although there are many ideas and the emperor's will on his body, he still needs to keep a low profile and make enough gestures. The key is to persuade Sun Chengzong to let the 71-year-old man go to Nanjing.

Accompanied by the magistrate of Gaoyang County, Su Tiancheng came to Sun Chengzong's mansion.

The scene in front of him surprised him greatly.

The gate of the mansion had already been opened, and an old man with white beard and hair was waiting in front of the mansion with all the people.

The old man's spirit is very good, his complexion is rosy, and the expression on his face is peaceful, and he knows from his looks that he has been through a lot of weather.

This old man is undoubtedly the famous Sun Chengzong.

Seeing such a situation, Su Tiancheng's heart was more than half relieved. Not only did he think that hundreds of years later, those seniors who fought in the country, their consciousness is extraordinary, as long as it is something arranged by their superiors, they will never be ambiguous , They don't pay attention to the issue of remuneration. They have experienced too much bullets and bullets all their lives, and all they think of is dedication.

"Su Tiancheng, magistrate of Jiangning County, pays homage to Mr. Sun."

"Master Su, you are being polite. This old man has heard about Master Su's deeds a long time ago. You are young and talented."

"Don't dare, the juniors still have to learn more from the adults."

Su Tiancheng's low-key attitude is sincere. In front of this old man who has experienced ups and downs and is a late bloomer, he has nothing to show off. Even if he adds up his age in his previous life and this life, he is still less than 70 years old.

Su Tiancheng has a low-key and sincere attitude.Soon he won the favor of Sun Chengzong.

Sun Chengzong already knew the reason for Su Tiancheng's visit.

Here's the arrangement.Su Tiancheng didn't know about it. In order for Sun Chengzong to readily agree to go to Nanjing, Zhu Youjian specially arranged Jinyiwei to inform Su Tiancheng of his intention to come as quickly as possible, and brought the relevant memorials to Gaoyang County ,It can be said.Before Su Tiancheng arrived in Gaoyang County, Sun Chengzong had already thought about it in detail.

Su Tiancheng followed Sun Chengzong and went directly to the study.

This kind of arrangement was beyond his expectation. Generally speaking, he would go to the living room first, and after a while of pleasantries.If there is any important matter to discuss, then go to the study, but after coming, go directly to the study, which means that Sun Chengzong already knows his purpose.

Su Tiancheng not only thought of Zhu Youjian.

His view of Zhu Youjian has completely changed.No matter whether Zhu Youjian was a bit contrived or not, as the emperor, he didn't need to make any gestures in front of him.It seems that the description of Zhu Youjian in the history book.It's really the other way around. No one is perfect, and I rely on the advantage of time travel. If I was born in this era and received the same education, I might not have much foresight. Think about Su Tiancheng from before, Not wimpy yet.

Sun Chengzong knew his purpose, Zhu Youjian must have notified the news in advance, Zhu Youjian was so careful about such a small matter, it seems that his trust in his ministers is really not out of mouth.

The magistrate of Gaoyang County also followed into the study. The magistrate was very smart. After sitting down and saying a few words, he found an excuse, got up and left the study. He knew that there must be something important to discuss between Su Tiancheng and Sun Chengzong. of.

"Master Sun, this junior's visit to Gaoyang County has two meanings. One is to make a special trip to visit him, and the other is to invite him to come out of the mountains to preside over the affairs of the Zhongxing Academy."

Su Tiancheng was very straightforward, straight to the point, without any small talk. Since Sun Chengzong already knew the matter, there was no need to say so many clichés.

Sun Chengzong nodded slightly.

"Master Su has been in Jiangning County for more than a year. He established the Jiangning Camp. He has made great military achievements. He is really admirable. Heroes have been born as teenagers since ancient times. Even though the old man left the court, his blood boiled when he heard these deeds."

With a smile on Su Tiancheng's face, he was a little muttering in his heart. Sun Chengzong didn't directly answer the question he raised, but talked about his own extermination of the bandits. It's a good sentence to put on such a posture, open the door to welcome guests, and you must have a decision in your heart.

"These things of the younger generation have already passed away. Moreover, according to the younger generation's opinion, purely exterminating the bandits and resisting the harassment of the Houjin cannot fundamentally play a role. If the financial crisis of the imperial court cannot be resolved, If the common people are not able to have enough food and clothing, the intrusion of the rogues will not be quelled. Over the years, the rogues have invaded everywhere. After eating, I have no choice but to follow the rebels."

Sun Chengzong's expression became serious, and he nodded slightly again.

"Houjin's harassment is even more serious. They entered the customs to rob, kill, and rob property, causing the people of Ming Dynasty to have no peace. And these years, it has become more and more serious."

"Let's talk about the people of my Ming Dynasty. Over the years, there have been many disasters. God is always against my Ming Dynasty. The people are suffering from hunger and cold, and even sell their sons and daughters. The juniors have heard that in some places, there have even been tragedies of cannibalism. Under such circumstances, if the government cannot provide money to relieve the disaster and appease the people, these people can become a source of soldiers for the rogues at any time."

"The juniors in Jiangning County have thought of some solutions, mainly to appease the people and let the farmers have food. Under such circumstances, the farmers can live and work in peace and contentment, and the society will naturally be stable."

Sun Chengzong couldn't help but speak.

"Master Su, what you said is very reasonable. However, is there any connection between the establishment of the Zhongxing Academy and the solution to the peasants' famine, including exterminating bandits and fighting the invasion of Houjin? Besides, Zhongxing The academy is far away in Nanjing, far away from the north, so far away cannot quench thirst."

Su Tiancheng froze for a moment, it seemed that Sun Chengzong really knew everything.

"What your lord said is that on the surface, there seems to be no necessary connection between the two, but as long as you analyze carefully, the connection between them is very close."

"Appreciate further details."

"If you want the people to have enough food and clothing, just reducing their taxes will not have much effect. If they have no food to eat and no harvest in the fields, no matter how the reduction or exemption is, they will still be hungry. At this time, the government must take it out. The money and food helped them tide over the difficulties, but the money and food did not come out of thin air. When the younger generation was in Jiangning County, the way they thought of was to let the gentry, wealthy households and merchants make contributions and let them bear most of the burden. The younger generation has carefully investigated the taxation, and the taxation they took out did not have much impact on themselves."

"This kind of practice, for example, infringes on the interests of the rich gentry, and they will inevitably retaliate. The younger generation debated with Donglin Academy and Fushe in Jiangning County. The wealthy gentry have accepted many favors from the imperial court. They should be aware that the rogues cannot be wiped out and the food and clothing of the common people cannot be solved, which will directly affect their interests in the end. Shanxi, Shaanxi, Henan, Shandong and other places, some counties, After being breached by the bandits, what happened to the gentry and rich households is before everyone, if you think that you are in the south and will not be affected, then you are wrong."

"The gentry and wealthy households have paid taxes to ensure that the imperial court has enough income. In this way, the imperial court can use manpower and material resources to continuously provide relief to the hungry and refugees, preventing them from rebelling because they have nowhere to go, or looting and rioting. Now, the imperial court can achieve twice the result with half the effort in suppressing the bandits."

"These ideas of the younger generation must be supported by public opinion. After all, in my Ming Dynasty, the position of a scholar is very important, not to mention the civil and military officials of the court, even many scholars in society are also respected by everyone. Their Their role should not be underestimated, they can affect the common people of one side, and the younger generation thinks that by uniting all the forces that can be united, so that scholars from all over the world can form a consensus and deal with crises together, such policies will be easy to implement.”

"The most important role of the Zhongxing Academy is to unite scholars and attract scholars. Those who excel in their studies will become officials. Scholars are all concerned about the government and want to do their best for the court, but it is impossible for all scholars to join the court. As an official, the Zhongxing Academy was established, allowing scholars to have a place to express their own ideas, and the academy can spread the thoughts of the imperial court, infecting these scholars and scholars, thus forming a benign interaction, which will definitely produce the best Effect."

"The reason why the Zhongxing Academy was established in Nanjiu was seriously considered by the juniors. The south is temporarily richer, and it is a place where scholars gather. Setting up an academy there can form enough influence and unite scholars to the greatest extent. form a significant force."

A smile finally appeared on Sun Chengzong's face.

"The old man understands that Mr. Su's considerations are far-reaching. Mr. Su once said in front of the emperor that things cannot be done overnight. You have to take your time. It seems that the establishment of the Zhongxing Academy is a concrete matter. The performance, the old man admires it very much, and I won’t say much about the rest, what the old man needs to do, Master Su just arranges it.”

Su Tiancheng quickly stood up and stood up to Sun Chengzong.

"The juniors absolutely dare not arrange it at will. The adults already know everything inside, so the juniors don't dare to talk too much. The juniors are just a little worried. Isn't it a bit embarrassing for the adults to stay away from their homeland?"

"Haha, what are you talking about? Although the old man is old, he can still eat and do things. There is no problem with his health. If he pays for this old bone and follows Mr. Su to Nanjing, if he can make a career, he will die. Rest in peace."
