[End of the God Station] Remind book friends to keep in mind: Website URL: www.xinwanben.com Remember in a second, never lose it!

Liu Jian's consent did not make it easy for Li Dongyang and Xie Qian.

They naturally knew that even if Liu Jian agreed, so what?

This is a big deal, it's not a joke, this Mr. Liu is already planning to be smashed to pieces.

Seeing Liu Jian prostrate on the ground, Emperor Hongzhi's eyes were a little blurred.

In fact, Emperor Hongzhi was also a little hesitant.

He knows that if he can really carry it out, it will solve the biggest hidden danger of the Ming Dynasty, but...

It is really difficult to do it, and Liu Jian will be the first to bear the brunt, because Liu Jian is the chief assistant of the cabinet, and all the pressure will be directed at him.

It was easy for Fang Jifan to talk about it, but the problem was that everyone would never go to him as a son-in-law.

Li Dongyang and Xie Qian, who had always been close friends with Liu Jian, couldn't help but hesitate at this time.

In the end, they prostrated themselves on the ground: "My lord..."

The following words actually choked up, not knowing what to say.

Fang Jifan stood aside, feeling emotional in his heart.

Liu Jian is still a person with feelings.

As for Liu Dongyang and Xie Qian, they are quite loyal. In history, the reputation of these three people is not bad. This history may be biased, but it is still almost inseparable. It is impossible for a pure bad person to get good Fame, and a pure good person like Fang Jifan will probably be treated gently by Qianqiu Shibi.

Of course, if someone dares to speak ill of Fang Jifan in Mingshilu, Fang Jifan promises to hack him to death.

Even after waiting for a hundred years, who will not open their eyes.

With so many disciples and grandchildren, what are you afraid of?

Of course, it is really difficult to accomplish this feat.

By the end of the Ming Dynasty, everyone knew that the current land annexation problem was serious, and they also understood the solution to the problem.

But... even if it is the Ming dynasty that is about to perish, no one is willing to solve this problem.

However, in the Yongzheng year of the Qing Dynasty, the gentry was settled as a whole.

This is of course because Yongzheng was originally a ruthless person, but the fundamental reason is that the Ming Dynasty was the real emperor and the scholar-officials ruled the world. The foundation of the Ming Dynasty's rule was originally relying on the gentry to cut themselves. There is no such thing as .

On the surface, the Qing Dynasty maintained the national policy of the Ming Dynasty, but in fact, Yongzheng's basic plan came from the later Jin people. The so-called scholar-bureaucrats who were treated preferentially before were just outsiders after all, so Yongzheng could deal with the rebels without hesitation. Raise the butcher's knife, whoever refuses to accept it will kill you, and if you are told to shut up, you have to shut up obediently.

Therefore, playing this in Daming is tantamount to playing with fire, and the risk is very high.

At this time, Emperor Hongzhi breathed a sigh of relief, he raised his eyes to look at Fang Jifan, and said, "Okay, Fang Qing's family, I want to hear how you, the gentry, pay for food as one."

Fang Jifan became serious and said, "Your Majesty, why don't the gentry pay the grain?"

Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help being taken aback, he hadn't thought about this question.

Faced with Emperor Hongzhi's reaction, Fang Jifan seemed to have known it for a long time, and then continued: "This is because the gentry may not be able to benefit themselves after paying the grain. Therefore, when the gentry in the world hears the grain, they are bound to gather together. And attack it."

"So if we want to solve the fundamental problem right now, we must let them know that the imperial court takes from the people and uses it for the people. By doing this, they will really taste the sweetness. At that time, even if there will be complaints, their resistance will not be enough. It will never be so intense."

Emperor Hongzhi frowned, thoughtfully, and said: "Now, isn't it taken from the people and used for the people?"

Fang Jifan was silent for a long time, and then said: "I don't want to discuss this issue in depth. After all, things can only be solved one by one. What I said is applicable to the people lies in the kind of things that can be seen and touched." benefit."

"Okay." Emperor Hongzhi frowned all the time: "Go on."

"Therefore, we can try it in one county first, at least to minimize the resistance first. If the gentry pays for food as a whole, it can be solved in this county, and then we can slowly promote it. Let's call this county a model county."

Model County...

Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help being startled, Fang Jifan could always bring them something new.

But the most important thing now is that the problem can be solved.

Emperor Hongzhi smiled wryly and said, "Which county can do it?"

Fang Jifan thought for a while, and then said: "It's better to start from the nearby. It's better to start from Dingxing County, Baoding Prefecture. It's close enough to the capital. If something happens, the court can solve it immediately to prevent the situation from expanding."

Emperor Hongzhi lowered his head and thought for a while, then nodded and said: "The distance from Dingxing to Xincheng is only a hundred miles, so it's really not a problem.

Fang Jifan said again: "In addition to this, we must send someone with courage and insight. My son has thought about it, and it is more suitable for my disciple Ouyang Zhi to go."

"Ouyang Zhi..."

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.

This Fang Jifan is really making money.

My chief disciple was actually sent there, so it's clear that I'm announcing to the world, that's right, Fang Jifan came up with this bad idea, come and beat me, idiots.

Liu Jian and others originally thought that Fang Jifan would be a coward, but who knew that Fang Jifan was actually very responsible.

Emperor Hongzhi raised his eyebrows: "Ouyang Zhi is a bachelor in the Imperial Academy, with a noble status, and he is only a small county magistrate.

? "

Fang Jifan said sternly: "He is still a scholar in the Imperial Academy. This also shows that the imperial court attaches great importance to Dingxing County. In addition, my minister dared to think that for the time being, it is not possible to use the gentry to pay food to Dingxing to set up this advertisement. …Look for a bright eye first, it’s better to ask for donations.”

This is a good idea, at least it will not arouse the resentment of the gentry all at once.

Emperor Hongzhi nodded: "What else?"

"Also..." Fang Jifan said with a chuckle, "Also, it's up to Ouyang Zhi to see if he can withstand the pressure."

"As long as you get over it, the matter will be fine. If you can't get over it, you will lose everything, and my son will lose this apprentice."

After all, Fang Jifan glanced at Liu Jian and the others, and then said: "As for Liu Gong and the others, I'm afraid the future will be difficult."

Emperor Hongzhi hesitated: "Are you sure?"

Fang Jifan said: "There is only 30% certainty." After taking a deep breath: "But... if it can be done, it will be beneficial for thousands of years. Your Majesty, give it a try, anyway, even if you lose, it will be fine for Your Majesty .”

This means that it is very clear that the person who died is someone else, even if it is a sacrifice, when it is really a last resort, you can also dismiss the cabinet scholar, or even depose the culprits like Ouyang Zhi to appease the anger of the people in the world.

Fang Jifan obviously wanted to put all his eggs in one basket. Being an official does not make decisions for the people, so it is better to go home and sell sweet potatoes.

Letting Ouyang Zhi go obviously represented Fang Jifan's determination. If he couldn't do it, he would go home and sell the house with him at worst.

Emperor Hongzhi showed shame on his face, and he couldn't help but said, "What are you talking nonsense about?"

Fang Jifan was ashamed: "My son and minister will die."

Emperor Hongzhi's face became solemn, and he said sharply: "I want to try because I know that once I succeed, this move will benefit the country and the people, and benefit thousands of people. If the success fails, I will take the responsibility. It's not that my ancestors have never been criticized by others. Do you think that I really want to be famous, just to be a holy king in the eyes of others? There are also some people who are secretly called Stupid ones, they can do it, and I don’t mind. You say you are 30% sure..."

Emperor Hongzhi stood up, with his hands behind his back, looking at the floor-to-ceiling glass outside Fengtian Hall, but the light in his eyes seemed to reveal a firmness, and his voice trembled: "Try it, if Ouyang Zhi is not afraid of being ruined, Liu Qing, Xie Qing, and Li Qing are willing to advance and retreat with me, even you Fang Jifan..."

Fang Jifan blushed instantly: "Your Majesty, please don't use ligatures. This ligature sounds a bit shabby."

Emperor Hongzhi said seriously: "You, Fang Jifan, are willing to give it a try for the people of the world. Well, let's try it, starting from Dingxing County."

Liu Jian and the others were beating their hearts, but at this moment, they had nothing else to say, so they said, "My emperor is holy!"

Emperor Hongzhi turned his head and smiled at Fang Jifan: "I really want to see, what you call taking from the people and using it for the people!"

………………

Ouyang Zhi was a little confused.

The magistrate of Dingxing County was ordered to solicit donations from the gentry in Dingxing County.

How does it feel like insulting the IQ of the gentry in Dingxing County?

Of course, Ouyang Zhi hadn't reacted yet.

Fang Jifan sat in the hall, looking at Ouyang Zhi.

He likes this guy, he is the same as himself, he is honest and honest, as expected, what kind of master can teach what kind of disciples.

Fang Jifan said in a sad tone, "Ouyang Zhi, are you listening?"

"..."

After a long time, Ouyang Zhi said, "Ah, Master, you can tell me."

Fang Jifan said: "Let me speak slowly, you can understand for yourself." He paused: "This matter is of great importance, and it is of great importance to my Ming Dynasty. Once you fail, you will be ruined. From then on, I am afraid that you will not be able to do it as an official, so you will have to leave a bad reputation forever. I followed my teacher's miserable life of selling a house. But if it succeeds, it will be a great success. I said this to Your Majesty, and my teacher said that such a thing can only be carried out with a person of great wisdom and courage. Your IQ Although it is not enough, but the courage is commendable, and the one who loves me the most as a teacher is you, after much deliberation, I still recommend you to His Majesty."

Ouyang Zhi understood this time, he bowed and said: "The teacher has a destiny, and the student will go through fire and water, and he will not hesitate to do so."

"Okay." Fang Jifan cheered up. To be honest, such a person doesn't even have the slightest IQ, just like a mentally retarded person. Fang Jifan also likes it.

"I wrote a regulation, you don't have to worry about anything, just do it, His Majesty has acquiesced, Zhengding County is not far away, there is a Beijing battalion stationed, the commander of this battalion is surnamed Wu, counting, it is also related to our Fang family There are some sources, if the situation is urgent, you can call it at any time, in a word, what I borrow as a teacher is your loyalty, you should pack it up immediately, and go to the post tomorrow, in short, follow the regulations!"
