Chapter 2322

Businessmen have always been synonymous with cunning and have a bad reputation.

But from the later period of Yongle, Daming actually adopted the policy of encouraging commerce, so this regime is the best for businessmen.

But in front of Fang Xing, people dare not have any ambition, so they can only express their anger.

"Uncle, those rebels deserve to die!"

"Yes, we are willing to reward the army! We are willing to pay as military pay..."

Fang Xing looked at them coldly. When the voice gradually disappeared, he said, "people say reading is reasonable, sober and loyal, but Ben Bo didn't think so today!"

The merchants bowed their heads and said nothing.

Fang Xing continued, "you haven't read many books, have you?"

The people shook their heads silently.

Fang Xing sighed, "it's a national policy to clean up the investment of the south. The North has been cleaned up. Why can't the south move?"

Businessmen are generally the best at speculation in the world. Of course, officials are more speculative than them at some times.

So someone guessed Fang Xing's mind and said loudly, "uncle, there are many gentry in the south, and they have more fields."

At the beginning of one person, the remaining businessmen expressed their positions one after another.

"Yes, they are so powerful that they take and plunder, collect and offer!"

"They swallowed those fields and didn't pay taxes. The remaining farmers were poor and accumulated on their heads. Poor farmers were honest, otherwise they would have been forced against them."

As soon as the bold words came out, all the businessmen shut up and everyone finally looked at the man who spoke.

Fang Xing nodded to Mo Yuanxing and said, "yes, those gentry took advantage of Daming. As for whether the people can live or rebel, they don't care at all. What should they do?"

There was much grief in his eyes and said, "Lord Huo, how loyal are these loyal ministers? But they dare! Because they never took this Daming to heart and in their eyes... Only themselves!"

Boom!

The people present seemed to hear a bolt from the blue. They looked at each other and found that everyone was pale.

This is an offensive horn against some Confucian 'elites'!

Fang Xing continued, "what should we do in the face of these shameless people?"

His eyes swept over the people, and the businessmen had bright eyes and happy faces. Most of the onlookers were sad, and most of them came from the gentry to inquire about the news.

This is the time!

A businessman should know how to speculate, otherwise he will not be a qualified businessman.

Mo Yuanxing doesn't understand speculation. He only knows that he is optimistic about the immortal house in Jinling. Mo Chou won't treat him badly.

So when those businessmen were still thinking about how to speculate, he stood in line because of his position.

"All should be exiled and let them harm overseas!"

Mo Yuanxing maintains a close relationship with the Fang family, and there are fewer taboos: "uncle, those people are greedy people, so they should cancel their privileges, do what they should do if they break the king's law, and keep an eye on them if they don't break the law, and let them farm and feed themselves!"

He had been angry with gentry when he was in his hometown. Now he has the ability to wake up and support, even those who have no strength to bind chickens.

Everyone in the back was listening to Mo Yuanxing's complaints. He was talking about the gentry who covered the sky with one hand in the countryside.

Some unknown people asked others in a low voice. After learning Mo Yuanxing's identity, they couldn't help wondering whether all this was Fang Xing's layout.

After Mo Yuanxing finished, Fang Xing said, "you've been in the immortal house for a long time, but you've learned a lot. It's good. Come back and help Mo Chou."

Mo Yuanxing said these words only for a moment. When Fang woke up to praise him, he was very happy, but he knew to cover it up, so his face turned red, like a monkey's ass.

Fang Xing nodded to him, and then said to the businessmen, "the status of businessmen in Daming is getting higher and higher. Apart from being unable to engage in politics, what are you waiting for? Ben Bo dares to say that you are no different from others. What can you think of doing in such a Daming and such a majesty?"

There was a silence. Just when Mo Yuanxing wanted to say a few words, someone shook his arm and shouted, "those who oppose are disorderly officials and thieves. Long live your majesty!"

"Long live your majesty!"

The cry was a little abrupt and there was no transition, but Fang Xing didn't mind it.

He said solemnly, "it seems that the merchant is on the side of Daming and his majesty. Good!"

He solemnly saluted the merchants with a fist, and then got on his horse and left surrounded by sergeants.

No one is staring at them, but these businessmen don't know whether there are people from east hall and royal guards among these people.

This is a chance to do meritorious service and grab performance!

So someone shouted, "go, go to the government office to petition, so that those disorderly officials and thieves have nowhere to hide!"

"Yes, go to the government office, go to six departments, and go to all the hospitals..."

So this group of businessmen walked in the street. In the sun, they were still enthusiastic.

No, it's anger.

Along the way, many people joined in, so it became more and more vast.

To block liubuhe government here, Fang Xing came to Cao's house.

Cao An has gone to the Imperial College. Cao Jin sits under the tree and looks at a piece of rotten wood.

"Mr. Yuanshan didn't need to be entertained. He just said some words. After that, Fang left."

Cao Jin's muddy eyes were calm. After the old servant served tea, he said, "I already know about Anxiang County... In the past, the gentry said they were loyal, but they were secretly digging a bright corner. These old men can see it."

Fang woke up and nodded to show respect for his views.

Cao Jin sighed and continued: "it's shocking in the south where poetry and books are handed down and culture is prosperous. I've heard dozens of cases?"

Fang woke up, shook his head and said sarcastically, "yes, so far, there are nearly 100 cases, much more than those in the north. Fang will never dare to say anything about the weakness of the South and the bravery of the north. He underestimates the heroes of the south!"

Cao Jin's eyes were bleak and said, "those people are selfish, but there are many loyal people. I just don't know how long those loyalty can last in front of the money. It's like those officials. When the upper official comes, he will show his loyalty and bully the people below. Two faces are disgusting!"

This is a little cynical, but Fang Xing just smiles.

"Yes, the court will certainly have a public opinion on this. Those who say that the southern gentry are the foundation of the Ming Dynasty don't know how long they can last after this time."

Fang woke up and saw that Cao Jin was tired, so he hurriedly said, "as you just said, those people are only a few, but how can most people be separated from them? This is what Fang has been thinking about. Yuanshan's public morality has high expectations, so he should give some advice."

Cao Jin said clearly: "Xinghe Bo, you let Wang Shang get a Ming Pao in Shandong. Now you want me to build momentum in the south. This is to start with the north and the South and suppress Confucianism!"

Fang woke up and was silent for a moment. After all, he told the truth.

"Yuanshan Gong, many things depend on the general trend. Where is the general trend of Daming?"

Cao Jin looked at Fang Xing lightly, but shook her head and said nothing.

Fang Xing said, "the general trend of Daming is innovation."

The cicadas on the tree were noisy. Fang woke up and patted the trunk, but the noise was still there. He smiled and said, "throughout history, each dynasty and generation can't last long, and then eroded everywhere. It's difficult to continue. How about Daming?"

Cao Jin is still silent.

Fang woke up to know that the old man was listening and had agreed, but he needed to give a reason.

"Your Majesty has the ambition to turn the world around, but there are many obstacles, the biggest of which is the gentry."

"No, not the biggest, but almost all gentry!"

Fang Xing finally said, "your majesty will not be weak. I have no doubt about it. What about the gentry? Do you want to face Mai mang with the tip of your Majesty's needle?"

He arched his hands and left.

Cicadas still chirp under the big tree, and Cao Jin seems to be asleep with her eyes closed.

The old servant dozed on the side until Cao Jin woke him up.

"Go and invite Qiu frame to come. Remember to buy some marinated meat and wine when you come back."
