Just when the nobles of Beijing were sending a lot of money into the Forbidden City, an imperial edict was also sent to the Confucius family in Qufu!
The little eunuch who announced the decree read out this edict, which was crucial to the Kong family, in front of the entire Kong family!
The content of the imperial edict is actually very simple. It announces Zhu Youxiao¡¯s various graces to the Confucius family. Kong Yinzhi, who received the edict on behalf of the Confucius family, after listening to the imperial edict, a big stone finally fell to the ground in his heart!
As the next Duke Yansheng, what Kong Yinzhi fears most is that he loses the bet this time. If Zhu Youxiao really attacks the Kong family but does not benefit at all, the Kong family will not only lose the support of scholars, but also lose the support of scholars. After losing a lot of land and wealth, he, Yanshenggong, may not be able to stand up straight in the Kong family.
"However, Zhu Youxiao did not disappoint Kong Yinzhi. Now Kong Yinzhi can finally rest assured. The little emperor is indeed not a fake. He not only gave Mr. Kong face, but also the Kong family.
Although the wealth of the Kong family will be greatly reduced after such a torment, it is not as serious as imagined. This must be regarded as Kong Yinzhi's merit, allowing him to control the Kong family in the future, and he will have enough capital!
There is another person who is satisfied on the ground in Shandong, and that is King Fei De. Although he was deposed as a king, the host found that he was much freer than before. Not only could he wander around Jinan City at will, but there was no one there even outside Jinan City. Pay attention!
And his distant nephew was quite merciful to him. Although his family property and land were confiscated, he still left 10,000 acres of farmland for his family.
Although these fields are all owned by Huangzhuang, all the output is used by their family, which is enough for their family to live!
The most important thing is that although he is a deposed king, because Li Jinzhong said that although he was deposed as a king, he was not expelled from the family tree. Therefore, in terms of status, the deposed king, a commoner, still bears the name of an imperial uncle. head!
With this name for protection, as long as the family of King Feide does not commit any crime, local officials must treat them respectfully. However, this name also makes King Feide very vigilant.
Nowadays, "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" has become quite popular, and there is also an emperor's uncle in it, who is a very capable person in winning people's hearts. Therefore, King Fade has never been polite to local officials, and even often publicly cursed all levels of Jinan Prefecture. Official!
It¡¯s just that the deposed king had no complaints about the little emperor at all, and even said, ¡°I don¡¯t know what the world is until now!¡± This can be regarded as the deposed king, and he flattered Zhu Youxiao in a small way!
With King De and the Kong family as examples, several other vassal kings in Shandong finally understood what Zhu Youxiao was going to do. So for a while, the relatives of the Shandong emperor spent a lot of land and money, hoping to buy peace!
Zhu Youxiao naturally accepted all of this, and issued an imperial edict to praise the royal relatives in Shandong, and also provided many preferential policies. This made the originally tense Shandong ground feel much calmer in an instant!
The land taxed by the Chief Envoy of Shandong increased two or three times in an instant, and the commercial tax was also increased to 30%. As a result, the entire Shandong finance was greatly enriched, and officials at all levels unknowingly relaxed their pressure on the people. Got it!
Especially last winter, the royal family paid for food and hired people to repair rivers and water conservancy. This not only solved the problem of food and clothing for many people, but also established the emperor's benevolence and prestige among the people!
This kind of thing seems invisible, but it has a real impact. After all, what the people want is just food and clothing to survive. Since the aloof little emperor can kill ministers for them and use his own money to rescue them, then the little emperor in Beijing He is the best emperor of all time!
However, not everyone is happy that the people's lives are getting better. In Juye, Shandong, five people gathered in a rather luxurious house with sad faces.
The leader of these people is a man in his forties, stout, but looks kind-hearted!
This person is none other than Xu Hongru, the incense master of the "Wenxiang Sect" in Shandong. The Wenxiang Sect is also commonly known as the "White Lotus Sect" and is a secret sect popular among the lower class people.
The founder of the Wenxiang Sect is named Wang Sen. He is a leatherworker himself. He claims that he has obtained the divine master, declares himself the incense master of the Wenxiang Sect, and recruits disciples and pilgrims.
At that time, because the people at the bottom were too poor and couldn't find an outlet to vent their anger, the Wenxiang Cult immediately attracted many poor people. However, Wang Sen was betrayed by his apprentice after only a few days of fame, and he was imprisoned. He died soon!
Since then, the Wenxiang Sect has been divided into two factions. One faction is led by Wang Sen¡¯s son and operates in Hebei, and the other is led by Xu Hongru and operates in Shandong.??
Originally, due to the increasingly serious land annexation and natural disasters in recent years, many people could no longer survive. Joining the Wenxiang Sect became the only spiritual sustenance for these poor people, allowing the Wenxiang Sect to develop even more!
But there happened to be Zhu Youxiao, who not only provided money and food to hire people to repair rivers and water conservancy, but also took back a large amount of land from the relatives of the emperor, which suddenly alleviated the hardship of the people!
When the common people are suffering, of course they will fall into the arms of the Wenxiang Cult in order to get some spiritual comfort. But now that life is better, who has nothing to do and hangs around with you?
Since the beginning of spring in the first year of Tianqi, the incense altars of the Wenxiang Sect in various places in Shandong have lost many people. It can be said that except for some obsessed people, most ordinary people no longer pay attention to the Wenxiang Sect!
Because of this, the senior brothers of the Wenxiang Sect from all over Shandong had to go to Juye to find Xu Hongru, the incense master, for advice. However, Xu Hongru himself was not an expert with many talents and knowledge!
????????????????????????????????????? If you let him use the opportunity of the people's hardship to confuse people's hearts, there is no problem, but now that the people's lives have been eased, he can't force people to worship the incense altar, can he?
Therefore, after listening to several senior brothers complaining, Xu Hongru could only frown and think hard, but after thinking for a long time, he could not come up with any solution!
In the end, Xu Hongru had no choice but to say: "It seems that it is difficult for us to survive in Shandong. Why don't we go to other places to find a solution!"
A senior brother said in frustration: "Master Xiang, news has also come from our colleagues in Hebei. Their situation is not much better than ours. Where else can we go?"
As his thoughts opened up, Xu Hongru immediately became energetic and said with an incomprehensible smile: "There is always a place of poverty in the world. Our incense teaching started from a humble beginning. Naturally, we have to go to such a place to be prosperous. As long as our incense burns the sky." , even if the Zhu family is taken away from him by then, it is not impossible!"
