Chapter 486: Is the gentry more important or the common people?
"Your Highness Ye Yanggu, Ha Wu, see His Highness the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince is a thousand years old!"
Ye Yanggu and Ha Wu, who rushed back from the peninsula after receiving orders from Wang Bing, did not expect that in the blink of an eye they would become subordinates of the prince, the future emperor.
So in excitement, he called the mountain "Chitose" that had to be completed step by step, and just finished it in one breath. Wang Bing almost didn't ask the two of them from which year they had "travelled".
"The Qing family... are really special, haha, get up!"
Hearing the two names that would definitely be scolded on other occasions, Zhu Changluo, who had always behaved calmly in front of outsiders, couldn't help but laugh.
"Uh, sir, I'm so rude!"
At this time, Ye Yanggu and Ha Wu couldn't help but look embarrassed when they reacted.
"Haha, there are not so many things to do in the army, so don't worry about it. Let's talk about the current situation in the land of Three Koreas!"
Seeing the awkward and awkward look of the two of them, Zhu Changluo immediately waved his hand and changed the topic to the peninsula.
Zhu Changluo, the crown prince, was naturally aware of Wang Bing's request for Ye Yanggu and Ha Wu to cooperate with Wu Youren in eradicating "chaotic traitors" in the peninsula.
"Your Highness, the Crown Prince, that... I am only responsible for helping clean up those Japanese invaders who have invaded the fields. I am not sure about the other circumstances!"
When they heard Zhu Changluo asked them to introduce the current situation of the peninsula, the two guys were immediately confused.
Indeed, it is indeed a bit difficult for these two guys who have just joined the army and only know how to fight and kill to introduce this political matter.
"Then tell me about your efforts to clean up those who are 'tong Japanese'!"
After all, Ye Yanggu was also Brother Dong's eldest brother, so seeing the awkward and confused looks on their faces, Wang Bing had no choice but to remind them.
"Well, that... people who were treason with the Japanese were arrested quite a lot, probably more than 10,000 people!"
After hearing Wang Bing's reminder, the two of them thought about it and quickly answered.
"Then what?"
After hearing that more than 10,000 "Japanese" people had been arrested, Wang Bing couldn't help but nodded with some satisfaction.
"Then? Just catch tens of thousands of people who were treasonous with the Japanese, and there's nothing more!"
Regarding the follow-up to Wang Bing's inquiry, the two of them put on confused expressions.
"No? Then you don't know how many fields these people have occupied?"
Seeing the confused expressions put on by the two of them again, Wang Bing asked angrily.
"Well……"
…
"Taifu, the Japanese invaded North Korea the year before last and were annihilated by you in just over half a year. How come there are so many people who are in trouble with the Japanese?"
After Ye Yanggu and his two men left, Zhu Changluo was puzzled by the fact that so many Japanese-traveling people had been cleared out on the peninsula.
"Haha, is that much? Only more than 10,000 people! If necessary, 20,000 or 100,000 people are not a bad idea!"
Looking at Zhu Changluo who looked confused, Wang Bing smiled indifferently.
"Uh, what do you mean, Master?"
Zhu Changluo, who was raised by the little fat man since childhood and has been the prince for more than ten years, saw Wang Bing's slightly joking smile and couldn't help but understand that there must be something fishy in it.
"It doesn't really matter whether we can get through to the Japanese! What's important is that they occupied the fields, my Ming Dynasty's fields!"
Looking at Zhu Changluo's uncertain eyes, Wang Bing's face became solemn and he told the 'inside story' very straightforwardly.
"But Taifu, this land of Three Koreas is newly attached, shouldn't we try our best to win over these local gentry now?"
Although Ye Yanggu and Hawu did not say that those who were 'connected with the Japanese' were the gentry on the peninsula, those who had the ability to occupy the land when the Japanese invaded, or before the Japanese invaded, would definitely not be ordinary people.
"Haha, gentry? What do you think is more important in a country, the gentry or the people?"
Looking at Zhu Changluo who looked confused, Wang Bingjin asked jokingly.
"Well, my father has said that we should be on strict guard against those gentry and civil servants, but after all, the gentry are also part of the common people..."
It can be seen that Zhu Changluo does not really understand the little fat man's reminder.
Because since the Yulin Guards' expedition against Bahrain at the end of the ninth year of Wanli, with successive victories and the re-establishment of military generals Xun Qi, the little fat man was no longer as constrained as the previous emperor when facing the gentry and civil servant group.
Therefore, in addition to the fact that Zhu Changluo was only a prince, when he was growing up, he naturally did not feel the feeling of being suppressed by the gentry and civil servant group.
"Haha, do you mean that the gentry represents other common people, so naturally the gentry is more important than the common people?"
Seeing Zhu Changluo's somewhat troubled expression, Wang Bing asked jokingly again.
"Master, this... this should be equally important, hehe!"
Seeing Wang Bing's joking look, Zhu Changluo very tactfully gave an answer that would not offend him.
"It is true that the gentry are also common people, but have you ever thought that not all common people are gentry! And do you know where these gentry came from?"
Looking at Zhu Changluo, who was acting cunning when no one else was present, Wang Bing's expression turned serious again.
"Uh, please give me some advice, Master!"
Seeing that Wang Bing's expression became serious again, Zhu Changluo also put away his laziness and solemnly asked Wang Bing for advice.
"Most ordinary people may think that the so-called gentry families are accumulated through the hard work of their ancestors. But what no one tells you is... So, these so-called gentry families are, in the final analysis, just a group of parasites living on the bodies of ordinary people.
Bugs, vampires!”
"A country will never perish without the gentry! But without the support of ordinary people, the country will perish!"
"Otherwise, how do you think your Ming Dynasty came about? If Emperor Taizu had enough to eat, do you think he would choose to rebel? And those gentry officials of the Yuan Dynasty, they finally saved the Ming Dynasty
Yuan Jiangshan?"
Ordinary people are more important than the gentry. It may be difficult to convince the highest rulers in other dynasties. But don’t forget, this is the Ming Dynasty! A dynasty established by the real poor at the lowest level!
Therefore, when he heard Wang Bing mention the origin of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Changluo was finally moved. After all, this is not a romance story in a book, but a real case of his own family!
"Although it's not good to speak ill of people behind their backs, as your uncle or uncle, you have to say some things. Those words of civil servants, especially those of your teachers, you have to learn to use your own brain when talking about what the officials say.
Discriminate. Believe whatever other people say. If you are not sure, ask me!"
