Chapter 1059: North and South
There is a reward from the leader today, and there will be more updates tonight!
…
There are always many people in this world who are lucky and always think that they can survive the suffering.
"Xu Hu, tell me, you won't die. If you don't tell me, you will die!"
The room was filled with instruments of torture, and there was also the smell of feces and urine. Of course, the smell of blood was essential.
In less than half an hour, Jia Quan went to Zhu Zhanji with his confession.
Zhu Zhanji looked at the content and said with a wry smile: "There are too many things, but it is a bit tricky."
Fang Xing didn't answer. Unless Zhu Di was sure that he wanted to take Xu Qin down, he wouldn't be able to read this statement, lest it be used to blackmail Duke Wei's mansion in the future.
Zhu Zhanji shook his head, "Snatching people's fields, private lending by managers, buying shops at low prices, forcing people into slavery... Hey! In the end, it was more troublesome. Xu Hu said that Xu Qin should have hinted at Xu Sanyuan, but no evidence was found. "
Fang Xing said with a smile: "The land can be seized, because the common people may be more willing to enjoy the shade under the eaves of Duke Wei's mansion, but the shops are actually stealing people's money and forcing people into slavery. If Emperor Gaozu was here, Duke Wei would The government will end soon, and no one will be spared."
As for Xu Sanyuan, it doesn't matter whether there is evidence, it all depends on Zhu Di's will.
Zhu Zhanji agreed with this view, and Zhu Yuanzhang was harsh on his relatives. Once caught, the whole family will not end well.
"The whole south is looking at Jinling, and Beiping is also looking at Jinling. Those people are eager to try and wait to see how to deal with it."
Zhu Zhanji said with his hands behind his back: "The south is far away from the capital, and it is in a safe corner. If there is a chance, the officials in the south will naturally huddle together. This is a crony!"
Fang Xing looked at Zhu Zhanji in surprise, thinking of those parties in the future.
But this party and that party are ultimately inferior to the Donglin Party!
Southerners!
With Zhu Zhanji's eyesight like this, Fang Xing would naturally explain a thing or two.
"You have to remember that in the former Song Dynasty, the north was always in the hands of foreign races. The culture was not obvious, but the force was fierce. For example, Zhang Hongfan, and then the former Song Dynasty suffered a complete defeat. This is the rule of the north."
cold in the north,
Ding Ding tough. In the south, however, there is more weakness.
"Together robes and sleeves, personable, and eloquent, this is my impression of the south. When poetry meets swords and guns, it is naturally invincible. It was not until I went to Emperor Taizu Gao that I broke this practice, but You have to pay attention, most of the Ming army at that time were from the Jianghuai area, and what did they mainly rely on?"
"The first is firearms. Without firearms, even if Emperor Taizu Gao wanted to defeat Meng Yuan, he would have to pay a higher price and take more time."
"The second is that the Mongolian Yuan's rule has come to an end, and it is extremely decayed. The iron cavalry that roamed the world in those days has been wiped out by wealth and honor."
Fang Xing frowned and said: "The south is rich, but I, Ming, don't have the concept of a nation. Naturally, the southerners will dislike the northerners, they are not a family!"
The transportation of grain from the south to the north has given the southerners a sense of superiority. It turns out that we are supporting you northerners!
And the south is the taxation center of Ming Dynasty. It can be said that, except for the military, the south completely beats the north.
Zhu Zhanji said: "Grandpa Huang is worried that if he stays in the south for a long time, all the officials will be exhausted, and the army will be sluggish... But it won't work in the long run. The south must be integrated into Ming Dynasty, not become a whole by itself!"
Fang Xing got up and said: "You don't have to worry about this matter, I'll go to the academy to have a look, if you don't go, those boys are going to riot!"
Zhu Zhanji said with a smile: "Let's go together. At this moment, countless pairs of eyes are looking at me, just to give them a reason to discuss. If there are still people who come out to make troubles, then just take the opportunity to clean up."
...
After the Zhixing Academy in Jinling moved to the capital, there was a feeling that there were few cars and horses in front of it.
However, the academy's lectures in various places in the south have achieved good results and cultivated many backbones.
Tian Xiucai doesn't like outsiders entering the academy, it will make him feel that his territory has been violated. The good news is that no one came to bother me all the time.
Today's Confucianism class happened to be a fuss, Tian Xiucai quietly stared at the students at the door with his hands behind his back, trying to catch some cheaters.
The science courses are vivid and lively, on the contrary, the Confucianism courses are relatively blunt and boring, so in the Confucianism courses, many students are lazy.
But today is strange. In the past, if there was no teacher watching in the classroom, those students would definitely quietly give signals to help each other, but today there is no movement.
Could it be that they caught a few last time and they learned to be smart?
Tian Xiucai was very sad, because these students always sum up their experience and lessons after failure, and then challenge his authority next time.
Huh!
When he was disappointed, Tian Xiucai saw a student looking up out of the window, and then his face showed joy.
Made! Who dares to help students cheat outside the window?
Tian Xiucai took a step back and was surprised.
"Professor Tian has worked hard."
Fang Xing smiled and cupped his hands, Zhu Zhanji was beside him, and Xu Fangda was behind him.
Tian Xiucai was speechless, but the students in the classroom were blown away.
"The head of the mountain is here!"
"Your Highness, I see that His Highness is here."
"..."
For a moment, there was chaos in the classroom, Fang Xing shook his head, and several people entered the classroom together.
In an instant, the classroom became quiet, and Fang Xing walked up to the podium with a smile. Everyone agreed as if they were still together yesterday.
"Seeing everyone again."
Fang Xing propped his hands on the table, and said with a smile: "According to the habit, I should tell everyone about my recent insights. It can be regarded as a lesson. After all, I am far away from Jinling, so I treat one more than another."
Zhu Zhanji smiled, knowing that this was the time between teachers and students, he quietly walked outside the door and asked Tian Xiucai Academy in a low voice.
"Recently, there have been a lot of things happening in Ming Dynasty. There is an expedition to Burma. Everyone should know about it. Li Ermao of the academy has gone with the army. This is the first of the academy's disciples to become an official. Even if it's just a vain job, I'm still very pleased. "
Li Ermao's appointment as an official is indeed a boost to morale, and he still serves as an aide and think tank, so the impact is extraordinary.
Zhu Zhanji outside the door was listening to Tian Xiucai's report when Jia Quan suddenly interjected, "Your Highness, someone came in over the wall."
How bold!
Zhu Zhanji brought more than a dozen guards, look at the three who climbed over the wall...uh...
People kept coming out of the two-meter-high fence, and then jumped down regardless, just like frogs by the river.
Moreover, these people looked like people with low military strength. Jia Quan immediately dissipated his murderous intent when he saw a man jumping down and landing on his face first.
The gatekeeper came and rushed over to stop these people, but he was alone and weak, blocking this, and the people on the side took the opportunity to rush towards Zhu Zhanji, so he turned back and asked Jia Quan for help.
"Lord Jia!"
"They're all young people, let them go."
Zhu Zhanji said with a smile, and then told Tian Xiucai: "Let Xing and Bo talk about the impact of the gap between the North and the South on the overall situation."
He couldn't talk about this topic publicly, but Fang Xing, as the founder of science, said it was fine from a purely academic point of view.
Tian Xiucai went in and told Fang Xing. Fang Xing thought for a while and said, "If that's the case, let's go out and talk about it. It's an open class."
