Chapter 212 Let the Kong family become the public enemy of scholars! Completely ruin them! The common people have never met anyone who really wants to seek justice for them. Many officials say it nicely but they cannot do it. Especially in Qufu. It’s not just a day or two that the Confucius Mansion covers the sky with one hand. But thousands of years. After so many dynasty changes, the Confucius Mansion still stands strong. Because of this, the people in the Kong family are unscrupulous. Because they knew that no matter who became the emperor, they would need their Confucian family to calm the hearts of the scholars. As a result, the people here became the targets of bullying. Their lives have remained unchanged for more than a thousand years.
Just as Chen Han said, these common people hate the Confucius Mansion even more than Chen Han. Even more than Chen Han, he wanted to pull these bastards out of their graves with his own hands and whip their corpses. But as Chen Han said, they are just a group of ordinary people. They are willing but powerless. They and their families were always afraid of revenge from the Confucius family. They dare not! They had endured for more than a thousand years and finally waited until someone came to help them. After listening to Chen Han's words, the people felt as if the grievances they had held back for more than a thousand years had suddenly opened. Whimpering cries echoed across the clearing. After Chen Han said what was in their hearts. They were finally able to vent their feelings openly and openly. Even the commander of the Jinyi Guards, Jiang Wei, felt something was touched in his heart after hearing Chen Han's words. Although Chen Han said verbally that he was guilty, he said what he said. But let everyone know that not only was he not guilty, but he had done a very right thing. Even when Chen Han said it, the people were moved to tears. Jiang Wei always thought that Chen Han was from a later generation, so he would be reused by His Majesty, but now he changed his mind because he knew. Even without the knowledge of later generations, Chen Han could have made a career in the Ming Dynasty just by relying on this method of confusing people. This is a terrible young man. Chen Han looked at the people below who were crying. Instead of trying to persuade them, he waited until they had finished crying before finally clenching his fists and saying loudly: I am here today not only to help you solve the tangible shackles of the Confucius Mansion, but also to let you see the future.
The land allocated to you can be cultivated well, but as time goes by, new landlords will come to take away your land. So what should we do to live a stable life for the rest of our lives? How can we achieve long-term peace and stability under the Ming Dynasty, so that even if there are disasters and famines, even if there are pests, you can still have enough to eat? " What Chen Han asked was very concerning to the people. Just as Chen Han said to Zhu Yuanzhang. The common people do not care who rules them; It doesn’t matter what thoughts rule them. The only thing they care about is having enough to eat. So Chen Han wanted to make them believe in him by eating enough. "Today, I can allocate all the land in the Confucius Mansion to you, even though the court has implemented the tax reform of dividing every ding into an acre. Land tax is a tax paid according to the amount of land. But after a drought, flood, and locusts pass through, you should still have no food to eat, and you should still sell your land. Should we sell our sons and daughters, we should still sell our sons and daughters, and whether we should starve to death, we should still starve to death! Even if there is no Confucius Mansion, there will still be Prince Zhang Fu who will buy your land cheaply, then make you their tenants, and then continue to exploit you! This cycle will not be broken! " When Chen Han said this, the people became heavy. They are not fools and know that they cannot rely on officials like Chen Han to save themselves every day. Everything still depends on your own ability. But the weather problem is not something they can change. The Yellow River changes its course, locusts cross the border, droughts and floods are all determined by God. Especially in recent years, there seem to be more and more such famines. At first, they were very happy after hearing Chen Han say that he would allocate the land of Confucius Mansion to them. You must know that the land in the Kong Mansion is the most fertile field. As long as ordinary people have a piece of land, they can support themselves. They are not lazy at all. But after listening to Chen Han's words, they became heavy again. Chen Han is right. Once a disaster strikes, they will starve to death even if the court does not collect their taxes. So some people finally shouted: "Then, Lord Marquis, what do you think we should do? We are just ordinary people who farm the land and we don’t know anything! If you can study and become a scholar, we are willing to go. But there is no green smoke rising from the graves of eight generations of our ancestors who can read. "
"Yes, Mr. Marquis, we also want to live without relying on the land, but we have no skills and can only farm. What else can we do?" "You can't let us do business, can you?" "Hey! People who do business are profiteers, so you can't do business!" “But we all heard that it was the Marquis who was doing it in the capital, to get business people involved in the reform so that they can pay more taxes, so that we, the common people, can pay less taxes. I think it’s better to let business people pay taxes than to let those of us who dig in the soil pay taxes! " The interest demands of ordinary people are very simple. After hearing this, Chen Han said loudly: "Farming is definitely not the only way out, and the way I want to point out to you now is to let your children study in the engineering college founded by me. Let them learn skills and master skills in engineering colleges. Let them learn farmland irrigation technology so that they will not be afraid of drought when they return to their hometowns; Let them learn breeding techniques so that they can increase food production when they return to their hometowns; If you learn how to improve agricultural tools, you can improve agricultural production. Scholars have a good saying: If you give a fish to a person who is about to starve to death, you can only save him for a while, but if you teach him fishing skills, he can be self-reliant and support himself. We people have worked hard all our lives and have never failed anyone. But if God does not reward us with food, we will still starve to death. But if we have a skill in hand, we can change our living environment and let this land grow more food. Make our income better. Make our road better. Let us no longer rely on the sky for our livelihood. That is the life we people really want to live. Once upon a time, your destiny was in the hands of the imperial court and the government, or even in the hands of a bully family like the Kong family. But now this opportunity is before you. This opportunity can put your destiny in your own hands. It depends on whether you are willing to seize it! Remember that fate is in anyone's hands, but it is better to hold it in your own hands! ! " Chen Han's speech became more and more exciting and he was frothing at the mouth. The people listening below also stood up unconsciously. It seemed as if a door slowly opened in front of them. A fierce light shined on them from inside the door. For the first time, they felt that the future could be so beautiful. Destiny is no longer in the hands of others, but in your own hands. Even if God doesn't give you food, you can still provide yourself with food through your own hands. What a great ideal this is. This is the ideal they want to achieve. This is a wish that the common people who have been farming for thousands of years have wanted to realize.
They looked at Chen Han on the high platform, listened to his speech, and heard him so excitedly planning the future life blueprint for themselves and others. They believed it! Because this man not only contributed to the court such a great tax reform, so that people with no or little land did not have to pay so much tax. Even so that they don't have to bear such heavy corvee labor. Now they have come to Qufu to defeat the Kong Mansion that has been pressing on them. As long as such people have any intention of harming themselves and others, they don't need to be so kind to themselves and others. After a brief silence, thunderous applause erupted below. "Master Hou said it well!" "So well said!" "Master Hou, where can I sign up? I want to send my child to an engineering college to study!" "Yes, I want to send my son there too!" "Master Marquis, will you accept a girl?" "Master Hou, I am willing to sign up. I know a little bit of writing." "Master Hou, I am a scholar but I am willing to study in an engineering college. After I finish my studies, I want to return to my hometown to serve my hometown." Countless people came forward to speak. The people in Kong Mansion simply couldn’t believe it. Chen Han actually enrolled students in a holy place for scholars. Moreover, they are still recruited to study science, which is a knowledge that is contrary to Confucianism. Kong Ximing even suddenly realized a terrible reality. He shouted: "Chen Han, you thief, you have bad intentions at all. I know, why did you come to Qufu personally to defeat us, and now what is the purpose of asking the people to send their children to study in your college?" . You basically want to tell the world by defeating our Kong family that you can receive countless students who are willing to learn your science and technology in the hometown of Confucian saints. You are so despicable, you are simply stepping on the mountains of corpses and blood of our Kong family to achieve your reputation! " ah ah ah... Kong Ximing shouted. Because after figuring out Chen Han's true purpose, Kong Ximing almost went crazy. He could even imagine a cruel fact. Once Chen Han receives enough students in Qufu, he can tell the world that even in the hometown of Confucian saints, there are still countless people willing to learn scientific knowledge. Even the people in the hometown of a Confucian saint support me, so what reason do you scholars have to slander my scientific ideas? hey-hey…… This was Chen Han's idea from the beginning.
Indeed, as Kong Ximing said, his original purpose was to recruit a group of students in Qufu through the reputation of overthrowing the Confucius family. This is not only a slap in the face of Confucianism, but also tells the world that people in the saint's hometown are willing to study science. How can people from other places have the nerve to say that their science is not as good as Confucianism? If you don’t believe it, look at it. If Confucianism is so good, why do fellow saints come out to study science? This is a very good sign. And now Chen Han's goal has been achieved. The people were all actively signing up at this time and could not hear Kong Ximing’s words at all. Seeing Chen Han's plan succeed, Kong Ximing knew that the Kong family was completely doomed. Kong Ximing felt extremely scared after learning about Chen Han's plan. Once this plan succeeds, Confucianism will completely lose its market. At that time, the little sympathy that scholars all over the world still have for the Confucius family will be completely changed because Chen Han has recruited students in Qufu. Chen Han wanted to drag the Kong family completely into the abyss, and it was an abyss where there would never be a chance to turn around. From now on, the Kong family will not only be sinners now, but will also be despised by scholars in the future. He knows scholars very well. It seems that everyone is studying for the country and the people, but actually they are doing it for themselves. If Chen Han used the excuse of crushing the Kong family to destroy the jobs of scholars, the scholars would turn around and throw the Kong family into the abyss. Chen Han's move was too damaging. "Chen Han! Don't bully others too much. You can't do this, you can't do it!!" "Can't!" "No way!" Kong Ximing shouted loudly. But the people could no longer hear him at all. They are immersed in the beautiful blueprint planned by Chen Han. What they are now focused on is mastering fishing techniques. Only Jiang Wei felt his scalp numb after hearing Kong Ximing's words. He originally thought that he was on the second floor and Chen Han was on the third floor. But I didn't expect that Chen Han was actually on the fifth floor. Even higher.
If Chen Han comes like this now, the Kong family will be completely doomed. From now on, in places where there are scholars, those named Kong will be embarrassed to say that their surname is Kong. Chen Han is really murderous and heart-wrenching! When Jiang Wei looked at Chen Han again, he realized how powerful this young man was. So unusual. This method of manipulating people's hearts is really too high. If I were to compare myself with him, there would be a huge difference. Fortunately, I am not his enemy. Otherwise, he will definitely die miserably. He couldn't help but shudder at the thought. Chen Han's method of dealing with people is really powerful. If this was used against oneself, one could probably pinch it like this. Chen Han waved his hand when he saw that the heat was almost done. "Someone tell me about these dug-up corpses of Duke Yansheng! Kong Kejian and his son whipped the corpse, poured tung oil on it and burned it for me! " hiss…… Chen Han is really cruel! I really hate this father and son. The officers and soldiers now have ten thousand trust in Chen Han. They did as Chen Han ordered without hesitation. With whip after whip. The bones of the Kong family were all broken. Then Kong Kejian and his son broke the bones, poured tung oil on them and burned them on fire. Although this was cruel, it greatly stimulated the people. What the people wanted was for them to die miserably. This is not enough for them to vent. After Chen Han burned the bodies of the father and son, he shouted again: "Copy the Confucian family! Kill the local tyrants and divide the land!" The land of Confucius in each province will be counted and all will be given to you poor people. " This is what the common people want to hear most...
