Quanlin Village by the Huangpu River in Shanghai.

"Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world! Mr. Tinglin's words express my voice! The people of the Ming Dynasty all have the obligation to pay taxes. Mr. Nanlei, please don't need to say anything more!"

Mr. Tinglin was Gu Yanwu, a native of Kunshan, Suzhou Prefecture. He was a great scholar in the world and was as famous as Huang Zongxi. When the policy of collecting food in Huzhou was introduced, Gu Yanwu praised him greatly in the newspaper and clearly raised the banner of "every man is responsible for the rise and fall of the world."

Huang Zongxi, however, did not agree with Lin Chunhong's fierce measures, and was worried that this move would disturb Jiangnan, so he went to Shanghai to try to persuade Lin Chunhong to use the method of gentle breeze and drizzle.

Seeing that Lin Chunhong's tone was firm and unquestionable, Huang Zongxi continued to advise: "I don't oppose the joint payment of food between officials and gentry. He just thought that the consequences were unpredictable! Since last year, the land prices in Huzhou have dropped sharply, and the land prospects in various parts of Jiangnan have declined to varying degrees. The big ups and downs of land prices will inevitably disrupt the grain market. What's even more frightening is that there are many workshop owners who use land as collateral and seek loans from money houses. The land prices have dropped sharply, which poses a great threat to the workshops and money houses!"

"I have watched the land reform of the Marquis in Nanyang. The gentle breeze and drizzle did not rise at all, and the impact on the entire society was almost zero. Why don't the Marquis learn from the strategies of Nanyang?"

Huang Zongxi talked freely, which made Lin Chunhong look at him with admiration! Huang Zongxi was rigorous in logic. From putting forward arguments to arguments, then proposing solutions, and completing them in one go, he sorted out a little, and then sequentially, it was a sharp political paper.

The power of Confucian scholars absorbed nutrition from their thoughts and dialects is evident! However, Huang Zongxi has not yet escaped the exaggeration of ordinary Confucian scholars, and it is not difficult to refute that trees do not see the forest.

Lin Chunhongbing said: "The grain in Jiangnan is no longer enough. More than 5 million stones of grain must be allocated from Huguang every year. As long as Huguang does not have any problems, the grain market in Jiangnan will be as stable as Mount Tai. Mr. Nan Lei does not need to worry about the price of grain in Jiangnan. As for the impact of workshops and money shops, there are no need to worry about it. There are so many workshops in Jiangnan, and few people are affected, less than one percent, so there is no need to worry. As for money shops, Bangtai and Yuanfeng's share is more than 95%. As long as these two companies do not have any problems, it will be fine."

"this……"

Huang Zongxi was a little dumbfounded.

Lin Chunhong continued: "Besides, things can change quickly. Nanyang was poisoned by bandits, and its population dropped sharply by 30%. More than half of the landlords died. Nanyang's land policy is naturally easy to implement, and it is better to take easing measures..."

"And... when I first implemented the land policy, I was not sure, so I had to be very cautious. Now, with Huguang, Henan's experience is here, and I have more confidence."

Huang Zongxi thought to himself: It’s probably not because he is unsure, but because Jingzhou was not strong at the beginning and dared not make it too intense!

There is no need to express this sentence. Huang Zongxi thought about it for a moment and bowed: "The Marquis said it is reasonable, so I will be taught."

...

The two chatted for a while, and the topic turned to Qu Shizi, Zhang Pu and others making a big splash in Huqiu to establish Huqiu Book Hall.

Qu Shisi and Zhang Pu's propaganda words are very clear, which is to learn how to use the world. A discerning person can see at a glance that Qu Shisi and Zhang Pu intend to extend the power of Donglin and Fushe to the county magistrate, county magistrate, and chief clerk, and compete with Jingzhou for practical powers such as judicial, investigation, taxation, etc.

Huang Zongxi was worried that Lin Chunhong would have a conflict with Donglin again and asked Lin Chunhong about his opinion on Huqiu Book Hall.

Lin Chunhong laughed and said, "The rules in Jiangnan were set by me. As long as everyone acted according to the rules, why should I object? Not only did I not object, I would also support me. I also asked Mr. Nan Lei to help me bring a sentence. If Mr. Huqiu Shutang is not enough, I can send a teacher."

Huang Zongxi was happy and sighed: "The Marquis's mind is beyond the reach of the world."

Lin Chunhong smiled and said, "The people of China all have tolerant demeanor, not like this. For example, Annan imitates my Ming Dynasty in everything, but learns it inappropriately. It is time to correct it. What are the plans for the barbarians to bathe in the civilization of China?"

Lin Chunhong seemed to be talking about Shi Kefa and his group, and seemed to point out Annan specifically. Huang Zongxi was confused. When he thought of the increasingly tense situation in the Jinpu area of ​​Annan, he couldn't help but be surprised: I'm afraid that war will break out again in Annan!

The war on the grassland has just ended, and the south is about to launch troops again. Is there any suspicion of excessive use of power? Will the many bonds bring disaster to Chinese civilization?

Huang Zongxi was not sure.

Shi Kefa, Zhang Pu, and Qu Shisi had no choice but to accept Lin Chunhong's plan to reorganize. This did not mean that they would allow Lin Chunhong to erode their power, but instead tried every means to seize the opportunity and seize food from Lin Chunhong's tiger's mouth.

Du Yinxi tried his best to figure out Lin Chunhong's style of conduct and finally came to a conclusion: once new measures are introduced in Jingzhou, it will inevitably be piloted in a certain place. After the pilot is successful, it will be promoted to other places.

In other words, Lin Chunhong was very frustrated with the gentry in Huzhou. It may take a while to see how the results are before it can be promoted to other parts of Jiangnan.

Qu Shixi was very excited and encouraged the Donglin Party to fight a time difference in the resumption of the society, which made Lin Chunhong suffer a loss.

This suggestion was agreed by Shi Kefa and Zhang Pu, especially Shi Kefa, who, as the governor of Anlu, had a lot of room for him to operate.

Shi Kefa followed the rules and was not the minister who saved the time, but his administrative ability was not good. Now the detailed plan for the restructuring was in front of him, but he was doing it with a solid and progressing step by step.

The first step in the reform was to form archers, go deep into the grassroots of the countryside, and change the previous tradition of autonomy below county-level institutions. Shi Kefa selected some literate and smart soldiers from the Anlu army he personally trained to train them as archers captains.

However, how to train and who will train it will stump Shi Kefa. Shi Kefa came from a scholarly family, so how could he understand Jiaxuan? As a last resort, Shi Kefa called Du Yinxi to discuss.

Du Yinxi was determined to do something, and had long secretly read the archives of the archers in Xingzhishu Hall. In the archives of the archers, even the names of the little squire can be found. Du Yinxi has benefited a lot and has long been aware of how the archers do things.

Du Yinxi readily took over the task of training the captain of the archers. Du Yinxi carefully selected several villages as a pilot project, ran around the west every day, and gave personal guidance to the captains of the archers to grow rapidly in practice. This method is very effective. After a few months, the captains of the archers were sprinkled on Anqing and Luzhou.

However, when the archers captains used their fellow villagers' relationships to form archers, Shi Kefa encountered an almost difficult problem: no money!

There were more than 10,000 archers in the two prefectures, and each of them was more than 10,000 yuan in accordance with the standard of one month! Where can Anqing and Luzhou prefectures give so much money?

Shi Kefa sighed: In the past, when he saw Lin Chunhong doing things, he felt extremely relaxed. Now, he has done it himself and realized the difficulties. Lin Chunhong is really a talented person!

Helplessly, Shi Kefa turned to Qu Shisi, Zhang Pu, Qu Shisi, and Zhang Pu deeply understood the righteousness and raised 60,000 yuan for Shi Kefa.

Sixty thousand yuan will be spent in four months. In other words, Shi Kefa must find a way to make money within four months before he can continue on the road of archers.

Shi Kefa imitated Huzhou and began to take action against the checkpoint tax. Behind the checkpoint tax, the interests involved were very wide, and it was possible that there would be the magistrate and the county magistrate's interests entangled in it. The entire government was in an uproar. Although he did not openly oppose Shi Kefa, he could still do it by stubbornly and passively.

This directly made it difficult for Shi Kefa's government order to go out of the governor's office.

Shi Kefa was unmoved and ordered the archery soldiers to forcibly cancel the checkpoint tax, and then set up the Commercial Bureau and the Tax Bureau in the imitation of Huzhou to formally manage the industry and commerce and taxation.

It was only now that Shi Kefa realized that there were only a handful of officials who were competent for the work of the Commercial Bureau and the Taxation Bureau, and that they could not guarantee the normal operation of the Commercial Bureau and the Taxation Bureau at all.

It’s so difficult for the Bureau of Commerce and Taxation Bureau. What should we do in the future, such as the Security Bureau, Supervision Bureau and other departments?

Shi Kefa and Du Yinxi thought about it, but had to let the Resident and Commercial Bureau and the Taxation Bureau remain half-dead. The two went to Suzhou and Changshu in person, suggesting that Qu Shisi and Zhang Pu immediately start cultivating officials!

Qu Shisi and Zhang Pu realized the importance of cultivating official talents and rose to the height of robbing power with Lin Chunhong, which led to the establishment of the Huqiu Book Hall.

Let’s talk about Huang Zongxi’s visit to Lin Chunhong and left Shanghai and headed to Suzhou Huqiu.

When Huang Zongxi entered the Huqiu Book Hall, he found that everything in the book hall was created and everything seemed chaotic. There were neither rules nor clear school management concepts, and there were not even many teachers.

Huang Zongxi shook his head and sighed: "If your heart is not upright, your sword will be slanted! If you don't want to teach and educate people, you only want to fight for power and profit, how can you achieve success?"

After Huang Zongxi met Qu Shisi and Zhang Pu, he stated that Lin Chunhong was interested in sending a gentleman to help.

This is the most troublesome thing for Qu Shisi and Zhang Pu. However, Qu Shisi and Zhang Pu had no intention of being happy at all, but instead tried hard to figure out what evil intentions Lin Chunhong had hidden.

Since Huang Zongxi withdrew from the resumption of the society, his relationship with Qu Shisi and Zhang Pu has been awkward and he cannot explain the matter thoroughly. What's more, even if he explains the matter thoroughly, Qu Shisi and Zhang Pu are unwilling to believe it.

However, Huang Zongxi was a great scholar. Seeing Qu Shisi, Zhang Pu went astray. Before leaving, he advised: "Lin Chunhong is good at civil affairs, and has countless talents who are proficient in financial planning, law, and economics. It is better for Lin Chunhong to do these things. The two are famous scholars. It is a bit useless to do such things. It is better to use their own strengths, strengthen their character, teach and educate people, and carry forward Confucianism."

Qu Shizi and Zhang Pu had a grudge against Huang Zongxi. After hearing Huang Zongxi's words, they all took it for granted that Huang Zongxi had defected to Lin Chunhong and were now serving as a lobbyist for Lin Chunhong.
