Gu Yongcheng now knows that he has been dismissed from his official status as a gentry.

This made it difficult for him to accept this result for a while.

He did not expect that His Majesty the Emperor would remove all the scholars, officials and gentry from Wuxi from their official positions and fame and dismiss them for the people because of a civil unrest that he launched against Feng Quan and Qingzhangtianmu. He ignored who was launching civil unrest.

People do not blame the masses for their preaching, but His Majesty the Emperor insists on punishing the entire county for what some people do.

But what Gu Yongcheng didn't expect was that his former family friends suddenly sold him clean at this time.

In addition, when I thought that even his favorite student just now pushed himself to the ground to escape.

Gu Yongcheng is now completely disappointed.

But Gu Yongcheng still had a greedy love for life. When the camp soldiers took him up, he still struggled to ask Feng Quan for mercy and shouted: "Master of the National Taiwan Affairs Office, please spare your life! Caomin was really just enjoying the scenery at that time. It was not Caomin who organized the villagers to make trouble!"

For a time, the moral integrity of the gentry in Wuxi was broken.

Feng Quan was too lazy to say more, so he only went back to the county yamen to rest.

After Gu Yongcheng was taken back to the county jail, he also tried to interrogate Gu Yongcheng in accordance with Feng Quan's order.

From the beginning, the chief of the bidding camp put a stick on Gu Yongcheng.

In the eyes of this camp, this should be the lightest punishment, after all, it is just a finger clip.

But Gu Yongcheng still screamed heart-wrenchingly after being pinched his fingers.

"It hurts! I said, I said, there are students like Dang Chongfeng, Kuang Qingsheng and Laurie who were instructed to organize the villagers to cause trouble."

Even Gu Yongcheng directly confessed his accomplice.

Therefore, Feng Quan easily examined the main criminals who organized the villagers to cause trouble, and immediately ordered these people to be arrested.

With Gu Yongcheng being arrested, and Emperor Zhu Youxiao said with a tough attitude that if Wuxi could not continue to clear the fields, it would not give Wuxi scholars the opportunity to enter the official career, so that the entire Wuxi would continue to clear the fields and the subsequent clear fields and ambitions.

Many gentry's Hidden Fields were re-registered.

And these gentry and powerful people also consciously paid the tax.

It's just a bit expensive.

From sending the Xichang to Jiangnan to recover the tuition, to Feng Quan's successful pursuit of the land in Nanzhili, a large number of gentry were eliminated from fame and fortune, and even punished and died as a result.

Originally, the gentry wanted to threaten Emperor Zhu Youxiao by cutting off the grain transportation.

But unexpectedly, Emperor Zhu Youxiao took a tough attitude to collect taxes by force and forcibly clear the land of Nanzhili, where the gentry was the most concentrated.

The gentry didn't expect the emperor to be so desperate, so he was caught off guard and was covered in dust.

However, there is naturally a lot of resentment between the government and the country.

But because the Ming Dynasty is still in its foundation and the common people are not able to survive, the Jianlu in Liaodong has not yet grown bigger.

Therefore, the gentry who have never dared to take risks since ancient times could only endure it forcibly.

"Your Majesty is completely ignoring the righteousness of the monarch and ministers! The Ming Dynasty will not be destroyed in only twenty or thirty years. Why should Your Majesty be so unscrupulous? Don't you know the consequences of Yang Guang? Even if our Ming Dynasty can continue the country's reign for another hundred years, if this continues, it will be shorter than thirty years!"

Ye Xianggao said excitedly after knowing that Emperor Zhu Youxiao was in Jiangnan, and then shouted to the north again with great pain: "Your Majesty! Can you not overturn the table at any time? Are you bullying us and not daring to rebel against you?!"

Ye Xianggao felt dizzy as he said that, and couldn't help but hold the edge of the table and sit on the chair, panting.

His son Ye Chengxue hurriedly supported Ye Xianggao: "Father! Stop your anger. Anyway, this country belongs to the Zhu family. If the tyrant wants to do so randomly, then the Zhu family will be destroyed. If he really forces us gentry too fast, don't think we really dare not rebel!"

"What's the counter-attack? Do you can't survive anymore, or do you don't want to be on your head?"

Ye Xianggao said, "Your Majesty is sure that we are not afraid to give up all our weaknesses, but I didn't expect Your Majesty to dare to do so. This is not the style of Emperor Taiping! My Ming Dynasty is about to be destroyed and the family is destroyed, so he would rather be brutal than to implement such a harsh policy!"

...

"You must think that my governance is harsh, but what I want to tell you is that since ancient times, it has been a combination of leniency and sternness. Before the Ming Dynasty, it was too lenient and gentle, so that the court's principles were corrupt and people were in a bad mood. In fact, as long as the world is in this world, my strict laws will not be strict with him, and he can only feel my grace!"

Zhu Youxiao talked about Li Ruhua, who was summoned to the government affairs hall in the Political Affairs Hall, and then asked again: "How did the urge to pay tuitions, clearing the land and exams in Nanzhili, and how did the test work have been carried out? "

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the results are significant. Coarse cloth estimates that more than 1,700 stone tax grain, more than 8 million taels of gold and silver and more than 1 million stone white grain have been urged to pay. In addition to the four million stone tax grain that needs to be transported to local governing departments to replenish local granaries, more than 1,300 stone tax grain, more than 1,000 white grain, and more than 8 million taels of gold and silver have been shipped to the capital, which will greatly enrich the national treasury!"

Fang Congzhe said with a smile. He had to admit that although the policy of taxing south and clearing the land of Zhangzhang was very harsh after the implementation of this policy, it did greatly overflow the treasury, so that the treasury could not only make up for the deficits over the years, but also a lot of them were left at the moment, because according to the income from grain and white grain before the Ming Dynasty, the annual scale was only three to four million stones.

What is collected at this time can be equivalent to the total treasury revenue in the past three or four years.

Therefore, Fang Congzhe, as the chief minister of the cabinet, was also sincerely happy.

After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao nodded: "In this way, the two million stones of tax grain after the additional Liao salary can be exempted. I will issue an edict to announce it to the whole world. Except for those that have been collected, all those that have not been collected will be suspended. After the first day of the first lunar month of the second year of Tianqi, the governors and inspectors of all provinces will be investigated strictly at that time. Whoever continues to collect Liao salary in violation of the order will be impeached and strictly imposed!"

"Your Majesty is as kind as the heavens. I would like to thank the people of the world for your kindness!"

Fang Congzhe and Li Ruhua both replied.

Li Ruhua breathed even more relief.

"What about the test?"

Zhu Youxiao asked as he spoke.

Li Ruhua hurriedly replied: "Report to Your Majesty, after the implementation of the examination, all the backlog of matters since the Temple Court has been dealt with, and more than 500 mediocre officials have been dismissed and removed from office. The administration has been completely renewed. Once there are no officials in various places, they can make up for the vacancy within half of the time than before."

"Especially, after the Censorate was re-elected from the local examination, the number of cases of corruption found in the Censorate increased significantly, and the impeachment seals involving officials defrauding the people of the people has doubled compared with the past, while the impeachment seals for impeaching officials in the court with personal ethics or news of the incident has decreased by half, which shows that the censor is more pragmatic than before!"

Fang Congzhe also added.

After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao nodded: "I'm finally starting to get better slowly!"
