Chapter 112 How can you fight with me if you don’t have money?

Six hours later.

The crowds at the foot of Mount Wutai were abuzz, and tens of thousands of men, women, old and children were angry...

They are attacking the isolation belt.

"Everyone go back, everyone go back, it is strictly forbidden to cross the fence!"

In the chaos, Tongzhi Yingtianfu, who still had gauze on his face, howled.

Then because the wound was affected, he quickly covered his face in pain.

On both sides of him were hundreds of government archers and even petty officials, holding sticks to block the people trying to rush past. However, there were too many of them, and their defense line was crumbling. The cause of this chaos was simple, isolation.

Behind the belt, at the open day event that was still being held, there were stacks of treasure banknotes...

They are all at face value.

No matter men, women, old or young, they can always get it in the past.

The consistent banknote is a new banknote. Currently, the consistent banknote can basically buy more than two shi of brown rice.

The monthly salary of a seventh-grade official is only seven and a half stones.

Who is not crazy?

A family of five used to be able to get more than the monthly salary of a seventh-grade official.

"Get out of the way, why can't you let me pass?"

"Throw this bitch aside!"

…

The people swarming forward shouted anxiously.

Those government officials, archers, and minor officials struggled to support themselves. Those who felt pain in their faces still covered their faces.

"You don't even get wages, why are you working so hard?"

Yang Feng sat on the Taishi chair, with his legs crossed and holding a tea cup, and said to the archers of the Yamen.

The latter's anger suddenly disappeared.

Then the defense line was instantly broken down, and even the government archers rushed to the opening day site. The unlucky colleague was caught off guard. He was still covering his face and gasping in pain. The defense line suddenly collapsed, and the swarming crowd directly pushed him to death.

Rushed down. He was so frightened that he hugged his head and curled up. It was obvious that he had experience. Then he howled in terror in the crowd and was rushed to the side. Fortunately, there was a smelly ditch next to him, and he was saved after rolling in.

To be trampled on.

However, the image can be described as horrific.

"Young man surnamed Yang, if you instigate civil unrest and provoke unruly people to cause chaos, I will sue you!"

He howled in the stinking ditch.

Yang Feng waved back leisurely.

Immediately afterwards, a group of foster girls under the age of eight rushed towards Tongzhi with their special small hand crossbows. The latter was so frightened that he quickly shut up. Even if this was for these little goblins, it was still a crossbow, and there was still no problem in shooting people to death at close range.

.

more importantly……

Less than eight years old!

It is not illegal to kill someone, and it is not illegal to commit rebellion!

Eight years old is the limit.

No crime will be punished for those under the age of eight. Anyone between the age of eight and ten will not be punished except for a few major crimes such as rebellion. Those who are guilty between the age of ten and fifteen do need to be punished, but they cannot be tried, let alone tortured. They can only be punished according to the law.

Circumstantial evidence is required to convict, and capital crimes must undergo strict scrutiny. Only when you are fifteen years old do you fully comply with adult standards.

Therefore, not to mention that these little goblins have diplomatic immunity, even if they do not have diplomatic immunity, it is okay to kill them now according to the Ming Law.

Then a little goblin walked up to him.

Because Tongzhi was still in the ditch, the two of them were almost face to face.

The little goblin suddenly took out a wad of banknotes. Before he knew it, the wad of banknotes hit him in the face. He wanted to stand up angrily, and then four crossbows hit him at the same time. He was frightened.

Immediately he didn't dare to move. The little goblin looked at him and smiled innocently, but the pile of treasure money in his hand slapped the other side of his face again. Although the force was very small, it still hurt because there was a wound there.

He called out.

The little goblin didn't care and continued to slap him in the face with the money innocently.

Pump repeatedly.

After smoking the left side, smoke the right side.

That arrogance is simply heart-rending.

"What's this?

money!

What can you do to fight with me if you don’t have money?”

Ambassador Yang held the tea cup and said with a villainous temperament.

Then he turned to the people.

"Folks, come back tomorrow and open the banknotes for three consecutive days. There will be banknotes every day. In the future, banknotes will be opened from time to time. Whenever you open the banknotes, there will be banknotes!"

he shouted.

The people who were happily visiting with their treasures cheered. Even the government archers and even the petty officials were inside. Most of the petty officials had no wages. They only came from other places, and they rarely did this for a month.

There are no local officials at all.

This is a regular banknote. If you take one, your whole family will have enough food and clothing this month.

Who cares about anything else at this time.

"Look, this is the power of money!"

Yang Feng said.

"Then you must have Your Majesty to support you. If His Majesty hadn't connived, we would have directly mobilized troops and horses. Anyone who dares to break in will be killed as a cause of rebellion. Let's see who dares to take your money?"

Zhang Xianzong said contemptuously.

"That's why I have tyrannical capital, backed by imperial power, and hold money in my hands. What qualifications do a few civil servants have to fight with me? Rules? This thing is only used to catch flies and mosquitoes, but it cannot catch falcons, let alone falcons.

, even a sparrow can break through, but they are still too naive after all, thinking that they have the right to do whatever they want if they master the rules, but in fact they are rules when others follow them, and they are a joke when others do not."

Yang Feng said.

"What do you want to say?"

Zhang Xianzong said doubtfully.

"It's okay, I'm just feeling emotional."

Yang Feng said.

Therefore, these Confucian scholars led by Liu Sanwu are still too naive.

In other words, Zhu Yuanzhang's support for them over the years gave them the illusion that they could gain enough power through rules.

In particular, civil servants in the imperial examination were gradually taking control of the imperial court...

In the past, civil servants did not come from the imperial examination. After all, Li Shanchang, who started his career under Zhu Yuanzhang, certainly could not have come from the imperial examination. They were not even Confucian scholars, and Li Shanchang came from a minor official. Although the imperial examination was opened in the early years of Hongwu, it soon failed because of Zhu Yuanzhang.

It was discovered that Confucian scholars were talking too much. It was suspended, and it was not reopened until the eighteenth year of Hongwu. This time, Confucian scholars really poured into the court. Now these civil servants in the imperial examination have controlled the officialdom, the six ministries, local officials, and the Hanlin Academy.

Basically, apart from a few chief officials, the vast majority of this secretarial team are already imperial examination officials.

The main reason is that most of those Zhu Yuanzhang killed before were not from the imperial examination.

Either the petty officials are promoted or they are conquered.

Their purge naturally made room for the civil servants in the imperial examination.

This was Zhu Yuanzhang's intention.

To fully shift to the imperial examination system, we must first clean up the old bureaucracy.

He was transforming the Ming Dynasty from disorder in the past to order in the future, from non-institutionalization in the past to institutionalization in the future, and established Confucianism in various places, and then provided him with Confucian students who would take the imperial examination and enter the court to serve as officials for him.

his official.

And it continues from generation to generation.

Confucian scholars began to imagine that they could build their utopia.

The monarch bows his head, and the scholar-bureaucrats govern the world.

but……

This is the age of imperial power!
