Chapter 555 Spring Rain Action

As for who to support, it is essentially combined with who to rely on. The ultimate goal of supporting a type of person can only make such person grow enough to rely on. Otherwise, what is the point of supporting a group of ungrateful wolves?

The local workshop owners in Jingzhou naturally need support, and the marine merchants and workshop owners are also among the supporters. Lin Chunhong is familiar with the amazing productivity these initial capitalists will create and have what development prospects they have. Moreover, from the perspective of the future of the entire Han nation, these capitalists should also be allowed to enter the historical stage as soon as possible.

Lin Chunhong focused on streamlining the financial system, relaxing circulation channels, and creating a standardized business environment in Jingzhou. What he did was naturally to support these young capitalists. These capitalists rose to Jingzhou or the periphery of Jingzhou, and could only rely on Jingzhou to obtain a broader development space, and were firmly tied to Jingzhou's interests, and were enough to become a force that could be relied on.

Moreover, these capitalists have a tendency to transform into upstarts. For example, Huang Bo has become one of the upstarts in Jingzhou. Hong Qiyun, Zhang Desheng, and Luo Yonghao have also become one of the upstarts by forming Atlantic business names. The Chen family and Jiang Boss in Luzon Island have also become upstarts. Even Jia Siyi and Zheng Mengfan, who are loyal to Jingzhou, have been taken care of by Jingzhou, and have also become upstarts.

However, these capitalists are still very weak and are not enough to have a great impact on Jingzhou and the situation in the Ming Dynasty.

At present, the largest force is still bureaucratic gentry, and the wealthy merchants in Jiangnan and Shanxi also appear as gentry. Therefore, promoting the concept of Jingzhou and attracting more enlightened gentry has become a long-term and arduous task.

In other words, Yang Sichang's move seemed irrelevant, but it was shaking the foundation of Jingzhou and would never tolerate it.

Lin Chunhong said: "When Yang Sichang makes a move, we must of course respond. We can't watch Huang Daozhou stir up trouble in Jingzhou and confusing people's hearts. I think it's better to take the initiative than to counterattack the moves."

Zhu Zhiyu said: "It is better to be proactive than passive. However, there seems to be no good way except newspapers. There is no newspaper in Jiangnan, anywhere else."

Lin Chunhong smiled and said, "The most popular thing is face-to-face confrontation, two groups of people are fighting each other, and it would be strange if the Shilin is not detonated. Therefore, this governor believes that it should be sent to Nanjing Imperial College, Beijing Imperial College, Changshu, Huqiu and Shizi openly debated. This governor estimates that this may be the most commendable event in the Shilin, and it is enough to be recorded in history."

One sentence is enough to be recorded in history, which made Zhang Daohan, Zhu Zhiyu and Tang Wenjie feel moved, especially Zhu Zhiyu, who even had the idea of ​​leading the troops to openly debate with the Ming scholars.

However, Zhu Zhiyu was no longer a young and energetic scholar. After suppressing his impulse, he said, "No matter what, Jingzhou has opened a government office and built a yamen without authorization. It is a disadvantage first. When it comes to debate, it is difficult to win."

Lin Chunhong laughed and said, "Since it is my initiative, the initiative lies in me! This time, the debate focuses on practical learning and the concept of governing the country, and we will determine the topic."

Zhu Zhiyu and Zhang Daohan smiled and said, "Then what else is there to worry about? You will definitely win! The facts are there unless someone else opens his eyes and tells lies."

Lin Chunhong said: "In addition to facts, we have another magic weapon!"

After saying that, Lin Chunhong took out a book from the bookshelf and said, "Scholars in Jingzhou have learned a lot of "Social Sciences" and have clear and rigorous ideas, so no one can match... Haha..."

The so-called dialectics translates the works of Aristotle in ancient Greece. Once this work was introduced, it became popular in Jingzhou. The scholars not only studied dialectics, but also conducted research and gained a lot.

Lin Chunhong pointed to Tang Wenjie and said, "This time he took the initiative, the commander must be you. As for the code name... it is called Spring Rain Action. As the saying goes, sneak into the night with the wind, moistening things silently. We want to slowly change the entire atmosphere of the scholastic and meditate, free the scholars from the old days of their studies and focus on practice!"

"You first formulate a plan for how to choose a topic, how to choose a personnel, how to organize, and what strategy to adopt in the debate. This supervisor will give you a suggestion here. If you can choose some very practical and weird little things to display, the debate may be better."

Tang Wenjie's face was flushed with excitement, and bowed his hand to answer the order and said, "How dare I not do my best?"

...

After the discussion was decided, Tang Wenjie left Xinggong Tower, but Zhang Daohan and Zhu Zhiyu stayed. Seeing that they were about to say a word but still rest, Lin Chunhong asked, "What else do you have?"

Zhang Daohan came forward and said, "Ma Shiqi, the general manager of Wuchang Prefecture, returned to Jingzhou to work, and wanted to meet the governor."

Lin Chunhong smiled and said, "If Ma Shiqi wants to see this governor, wouldn't it be enough to hand over the sign by himself? He still has to work for two big drivers?"

Zhang Daohan lowered his head and nodded, and said with a blank expression: "Yang Yiren, Bao Zhedong has been in Beijing for more than a year. Have they asked the two of them to return to Jingzhou to report their duties?"

Lin Chunhong's face became quite ugly. It seemed that Zhang Daohan and Zhu Zhiyu had been obsessed with the investigation of Xinggong Tower these days, so they called back Ma Shiqi and others and put pressure on him together.

Lin Chunhong's tone was quite stiff: "Yang Yiren, Bao Zhedong will not be recalled, so Ma Shiqi will return to Wuchang immediately!"

Zhang Daohan and Zhu Zhiyu never expected that Lin Chunhong's attitude was so tough, and his heart was as heavy as if he was carrying a heavy burden.

Zhang Daohan said with a thorn in his teeth, "Justice just mentioned who to rely on, who to support, and who to attack, and to constantly strengthen the class of gentry that can be relied on. The gentry in the world is suffering from the Jinyiwei, and the East Factory has been for a long time. The governor insisted on his own and pushed the enlightened gentry out. His subordinates believed that the Spring Rain Action was better than cancellation."

Zhang Daohan said very seriously, and even mentioned that Lin Chunhong wanted to engage in spy politics in Jingzhou. Lin Chunhong couldn't help but be furious, stood up suddenly, and said angrily: "If I want to build the Jinyiwei and Dongchang, you have already been dragged down and spanked!"

After saying that, he ignored the two of them and left the conference room with his sleeves.

The three of them parted in disagreement.

Immediately afterwards, Ma Shiqi's sign was handed in, and Lin Chunhong waved impatiently: "No see!"

After three times, Zhang Jief finally told Ma Shiqi: "Did the governor forget his ambition to support the world?"

Lin Chunhong ordered Ma Shiqi to come in just now.

After seeing the Li, Ma Shiqi did not mention the investigation of Xinggong Tower at all, but talked about the past: "At the first time he arrived in Zhijiang, his subordinates were quite proud and regarded the governor as a local tyrant and evil gentry. He always thought that under the righteousness of the court, the governor would repent and embark on the right path."

Ma Shiqi bluntly stated that Lin Chunhong was a local tyrant and evil gentry, which made Lin Chunhong laugh: "Isn't he a local tyrant? Now he is also the biggest local tyrant in the Ming Dynasty."

Ma Shiqi also smiled and said, "In the years in Zhijiang, my subordinates were idle and kept observing the governor. They found that the governor was sincere and united and full of spirit. What made my subordinates curious was that Zhu Muzhi was famous all over the world, and his articles, knowledge and character were all praised by scholars. How could he join the governor's subordinates?"

Lin Chunhong said: "As you said, why can Jingzhou be united and work hard to achieve success?"

Ma Shiqi said in a very affirmative tone: "Idea! At that time, the governor had only 5,000 soldiers and only 10,000 wealth. He was forced by the High Priest. If it were not for the governor's unique concept, how could his subordinates be attracted and serve as the governor? Although there were not many people in the relationship between Huya, his subordinates had heard of it at that time. It was Huya's opponent that allowed his subordinates to see the governor's ambition to support the world."

"However, it is obviously not enough to just support the world. Most of the people in the world have great ambitions, but most of them are boastful people. What really makes their subordinates make up their minds is the governor's management structure for Jingzhou."

Lin Chunhong never thought that the one who attracted Ma Shiqi was the most criticized by the world. He couldn't help but ask curiously: "What structure?"

“Judicial independence.”

Lin Chunhong laughed and said, "Mr. Ma first arrived in Zhijiang, everything was going on in Jingzhou and the institutions were in chaos. Even now, it is hard to say that he has achieved judicial independence. Where did General Ma see this from?"

Ma Shiqi said: "It is not Jingzhou that truly achieved judicial independence, but the concept of judicial independence revealed by the governor attracted his subordinates. The governor's general's law, supervision, and circuit court's power is concentrated in the Supervision Office. Even Governor Zhou accepted investigation and inquiry from the Supervision Office, allowing his subordinates to see the principles that the governor insisted on."

Ma Shiqi is actually an idealist who insists on judicial independence. Lin Chunhong couldn't help but secretly call himself strange and praised: "Everything has a standard, and the world will be in order."

Ma Shiqi nodded and said, "In Jingzhou, there is still a long way to go, and there may be repetitions during this period. The subordinates believe that the governor's right to investigate the second wife without authorization is also a repetition. Today, the right to investigate will be granted. In the future, will the governor make something like an imperial prison?"

Finally got to the point.

Lin Chunhong was very happy when he saw Ma Shiqi clearly put forward the concept of judicial independence and did not mind Ma Shiqi's accusations at all. He asked, "According to what you said, I should be willing to look at Jingzhou with a slight slander?"

Ma Shiqi said with gaze: "Everything has laws. If the governor wants to know about fund transactions, he can instruct the Security Department and the Supervision Office to investigate. Why do you need to form a set of people and waste manpower and material resources? Besides, the subordinates heard that the governor has recently planned the Spring Rain Operation to attract knowledgeable people from all over the world to enter the trap. If the governor follows the hearts of the people and stops the Xinggong Building from investigating fund transactions, it can be used as part of the Spring Rain Operation."

Lin Chunhong laughed secretly in his heart, feeling that this matter should be stopped. After pondering for a moment, he asked: "What if the people who investigated the funds in Xinggong Building directly transferred to the Supervision Office or the Security Department, and Cui Yu was responsible for the establishment and management, what?"
